We enjoyed the show and the wonderful voices (some big talents up there onstage!) but I think the venue itself was working against the show. So many voices to try to hear but not the greatest sound system. It's a huge cast for such a small stage. Lighting and costuming were also excellent. It was just the preview so there's time to work out some tweaks that could send this over the top...as if much of it isn't already there.Written on Sep 10 2010

Sorry guys but after the first act this was a bore. Jerry Springers guests are outrageus, OK, thats enough. Streeching this to a heaven and hell romp made no sence. I was tired of it all by the second act which got increasingly boring. It must have taken a tremendus amount of work to write this all but the result, for me, was dissapointing. Go if you like but dont expect too much.Written on Oct 11 2010

I agree with the other positive posts.Written on Sep 10 2010
We really enjoyed it. We thought the first act was the best. Slowed down somewhat in the next two acts.
Yes , it was hard to understand some of the lyrics which was annoying even though we were in the first row.
But it is truly a fun musical true to the show.
The guy playing Jerry was right on !!!

- "Director M. Graham Smith and music director Ben Prince have assembled a huge cast of strong voices from local opera, operetta, musical, choir and drag groups...The total package is a big, tuneful, camp hoot." —San Francisco Chronicle
- "[A] staggeringly brilliant production...this show has something to offend everyone. And God, is it fun!" --The Huffington Post
- "However small Ray of Light may be, their work is fully equal to acclaimed productions in Europe, and it sports an American idiom that makes it more authentic and enjoyable...There is energy and aliveness to the work that make it entertaining, enjoyable, even attractive, beyond the obviously objectionable nature of it all." —San Francisco Classical Voice
