Press Reviews

"A socially significant and very entertaining two-woman show that manages to be simultaneously self-deprecating and proud."
— The New York Times

"Perfectly suited for the post-Sex and the City woman."
— BackStage

"Thompson stands her stereotypes on their heads, to apt and funny effect. These right-on feminist sisters want equal rights and equal pay, but they also yearn for steamy romance and Jimmy Choo shoes, not necessarily in that order."
— The Los Angeles Times

"A bracing, funny, bittersweet show that is both bigger than life and wondrously small, with plenty of notes in between."
— LA Weekly

"Very entertaining... A testament to Thompson’s sharp wit."
— San Francisco Examiner
