This was an excellent production. Casting was perfect, and each member of the cast was talented and had good comic timing. One stand out performer was the actress who played Marcy Parks. The direction was excellent, and even added a few extras that were not in the Broadway version. Go, even if you can't spell S-U-C-C-E-S-S!

What an amazing show! It was witty, funny, and some great quips and double entendres. The venue was comfortable and easy to access. With superb acting and great writing, this piece is definitely worth seeing!

In a word, E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T.

I have been wanting to see this show for a while, and I'm glad this is the production that I chose to see. The actors in this cast were truly top notch. As my friend who saw it with me said, they have put on a production that I would swear is fresh from Broadway. They all deserve the first place trophy!

One of the people in our group was picked to be one of the spellers, so we were completely amused by that, but even without him, I think I would've been rolling on the floor anyway. I was laughing so hard at times, I had to fight back the tears. And this had a lot to do with the performers delivery, the jokes and the bit of present-day quips of improv they are given liberty to add.

All around, this is a DON'T MISS production. If you haven't seen this show, run don't walk to this one. And if you have, see it again - because this production will NOT disappoint. Kudos to all!!!
