One of the most enjoyable hours I spent at the festival this year was when I saw Liana’s creation. In a ubiquitous sea of mundane political lampooning and easy low-hanging Donald Trump bashing, this clever writer / performer dives far deeper in her exploration of the First Family than anything else I’ve seen out there. If they say, “Behind every great man is an even greater woman,” who, would they say, is behind an egomaniacal, halfwitted, selfish, spoiled, rapist manipulator asshat? Liana’s ch...

Stop reading the reviews. Click 'tickets' and buy a seat. It's the best money and time you will spend at this year's Fringe.
Such a playful cast. Such a serious subject that was tackled with ridicule and tickle feathers. It's makes an important poignant statement, but care about that another day... this hour you will spend giggle. Please do not attempt to sip on any drinks or you will uncontrollably spit-take all over the poor folks in front of you....

I've been reading Bob's ruminations about other artists for well over a decade, maybe two. I've learned over the years that when you see Bob Leggett in an audience, chances are there is something special about the show you're about to experience. He's always been fair, gently encouraging when necessary, and honest about his thoughts on the performances he reviews. But I've never known a thing about Bob himself, until now. And WOW! ..... this guy should have been writing the SONGS, not the rev...

Definitely recommend. The show was not what I expected and took a fun turn in the first scene - right when you think you what this show's gonna be, Stacy flips it on you. Suddenly, you're in for a well-engineered, super fun ride!...

Definitely entertaining. Plenty of funny moments mixed in with some relatable cringeworthy awkward coming of age moments. And something should be said for the excellent taste in music cues. ...

One thing I enjoy about theater is watching the performers have fun. These ladies were having a blast up there. Fun, flawed, fully narcissistic egos can be the best characters to play, and each of these actresses went for it. It was fun to watch....

This show was completely engaging.... if you like flawed, screwed up, unpredictable characters. And I do. The play is mysterious psychological thriller that is an interesting chess match of wits and bad choices. ...

I'm a huge fan of this show. These two.... well, there were only two when I saw it.... These two performers are top notch physical and lingual comedians. I'm proud of myself for understanding about 70% of what they Shakespearingly said, but it didn't matter, I absorbed it all - and laughed out loud straight through for an hour. Definitely one of my favorites so far this year!!...
