Press Reviews
"Laugh-out-loud comedy... The solo female monologue is expertly crafted to give the audience just enough to keep them on the edge of their seats... With a truly shocking twist at the end, you see why Ms. Rebeck’s play is considered by many to be a modern hilarious classic."
— Theatrely
"Put aside any qualms you may have about one-person plays because Theresa Rebeck has conjured up a character with a multitude of sparkly facets... For ninety joy-filled minutes, we are invited into Haley's oversized, well-appointed Manhattan bedroom, to watch her dress and undress, parade around in an astounding variety of shoes, and regale us with stories about her life."
— Broadway World
"Amusing... funny and lighthearted."
— CurtainUp
"Pretty wonderful... a poignant slice of urban life that also happens to be drop-dead funny."
— The Wall Street Journal
