excerpts from the Berea Sun review

“Director Fred Sternfeld has assembled an amazing cast for this comedy extravaganza”

“fresh and vibrant and funny”

“When I tell you that the production is better than the one I played in 50 years ago … you know it has to be the greatest compliment every paid by a critic”

“A group of children in the front row were having a ball with it, while the gray-haired crowd was lapping it up like a cat at a saucer of tuna fish”

“outstanding performances”

“tremendous roles, each of them perfectly cast”

“as funny and entertaining as they come”
