Press Reviews

"A little spot of joy! DiSavino's writing, always good, is now far more sophisticated, and Nana's become a more sophisticated troublemaker in the process... the dialogue is snappy, the surprises really are unexpected... Nana Does Vegas has some real potential to be a classic farce."
— Broadway World

TOM O'GRADY (20s) He's been acting weird lately (and he's not suave enough to cover it). His fianceé, Bridget, is worried he's cheating on her... but the truth of the matter is, Tom is an undercover FBI agent (and not a NYC cop like Bridget believes), and he is VERY BAD at keeping secrets. He's also a little confused about why his boss wants him to fly to Vegas last minute... but that's pretty normal. Tom is confused about a lot of thing.	male	20s	(20s) He's been acting weird lately (and he's not suave enough to cover it).
