Hudson Mainstage Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
This irreverent comedy -- equal parts sophisticated, sexy, and saucy -- explores the modern-day trials and tribulations of being young, female and living in the big city. Told in five short one-acts, each vignette plows headfirst into challenging contemporary definitions of sexism, feminism, homophobia and gender roles, giving audiences a refreshing and intelligent look at what's right, wrong, fantastic and inexplicable about modern metropolitan women.

Very, very, very shocking. Outstanding and fun cast. Jessica Moreno must be absolutely one of the most uninhibited actresses anywhere! Her total energy was truly awesome!
Just be prepared to be shocked. Probably best seen having had two beers prior.
This was much better than what I had expected. I walked away with a smile on my space.
Also the patrons of the theatre were great. Good, clean environment, nice people.
Excellent performances-
Entertaining-be prepared for some nudity, which was overdone!
A very up energy show about the every day trials of good girls and bad girls. I wouldn't say that these are "high class issues", because frankly, that would be boring. But I laughed, I gasped and I was pleased with the pacing of the show. It's bawdy and dirty and not brilliant, but if you enjoy being shocked or at least hearing about and seeing female body parts in a comedic way, this is a show for you.
this show was a nightmare. cliche, misogynistic, not funny, not sexy. i felt that the ad and title made it look like we were going to hear and see three feisty woman speak their minds about sex. the real deal. was looking forward to it. instead, the play was totally from a man's skewed perspective, or at least it felt that way to me. i wish all of the artists involved nothing but the best, but honestly, i'd recommend being probed anally before i'd suggest seeing this tired excuse of a show.
I love irreverent humor, so that was not my objection. The first act or two had a few funny moments, sort of hit and miss. But the last few acts, and the final one especially, just weren't even funny. Overly dramatic acting, including frequent shouting, just wasn't necessary or funny, unfortunately.
Very funny and on-target comments acted out on the topics of fashion, sexuality, relationships with men, moods affected by hormones, and differing moral standards. Well worth the evening in the small, intimate theater.
A series of short one act plays. Content is blunt and quite coarse. The performers do their best with the material at hand. Some moments are humorous and you'll probably have a few laughs. I had less then I'd expected.
It's not a must see but if you want a mix of direct, candid sexual dialog, attractive cast members and can put up with the weak to moderate script you'll enjoy it.
The actors in the play exaggerated the emotions too much for this to be as funny as it could have been.
It was definitely worth the price of admission.
The acting exceeded the writing. My favorite was the blonde actress, as her character portrayals were very genuine in their sort of naive-but-smart way...without ever coming across as over-the-top or stereotypical. It was refreshing.
Fantastic cast! I've seen it twice...and the changes they've made between the first and second viewing are great. A good time.
I laughed a lot and I highly recommend the show. Great date or friends night out, but definitely not for the prudish.
fun show... really moved. Cast was good... and Keenan Henson was a standout.
So flippin' funny! And I won a free tank top! Yay! Every seat is a great seat!
The Hudson Mainstage Theatre has brought LA such hits as multiple award-winning Bare! The Musical (Broadway 2003), Telegram from Heaven (LA Weekly Production of the Year), Pay or Play with Ann Heche, and the smash hit revival of The Rose Tattoo with Rob Estes.
In the last two years, "Angry Young Women" has had three sold out runs in NYC (two Off Off Broadway and one Off Broadway) and two separate four-week runs in Sydney, Australia. It is making its title an idiom in New York and Australia and has amassed an enthusiastic fan base on two continents. The play, Matt Morillo's first, was published this spring by Samuel French, along with Morillo's second play, "All Aboard the Marriage Hearse."
