Press Reviews

"Crammed with ridiculous dialogue, absurd situations and a virtual midway of musical styles... The audience booed, hissed and applauded happily."
— Calgary Herald

"The silliness is endearing... Corny antics and slapstick characterizations... in a non-stop comic romp which is at times hysterically funny... No opportunity for humor has been overlooked... You're in for a night peppered with spontaneous applause and raucous laughter."
— Calgary Sunday Sun
