Press Reviews
"A Broadway hit, this refreshingly literate comedy is concerned with the hilarious lengths gone to by a brilliant (but broke) scientist to land a much-needed job with a large corporation. "…a cheerfully venomous comedy about the mysterious monster called the Corporate Image."
— NY Daily News
"…a comedy that compliments your intelligence."
— Women's Wear Daily
