REVIEWS
"Breathless fun! A highly accomplished effort, a smart comic machine that hurdles its characters from one amusingly improbable scenario to another HAT simultaneously detonates a dozen tiny plot points like some stage supercollider" ~ Los Angeles Times
"Exhilarating ... Stylish and inspired ... Lightning-paced entertainment that looks and sounds sensational and keeps us rolling with laughter in the aisles ... This riotous romp is a show for all seasons" ~ Backstage
