"...The cast is local, solid and, for the most part, decent singers of the wicked little ditties the show serves up to its audience. As directed by Tim Drucker, the show clips along at a nice pace. Go with a few pals, pregame it and keep your expectations reasonable. You'll have fun."

"...From simple, effective jokes like naming every contestant Lauren, to more biting jabs about the show's morally questionable and often manufactured "trauma bonding," the musical appeals thanks to its pace, spot-on mockery, and the cast's infectious enthusiasm. Written by Richelle Meiss with music by Sam Johnides and Tony Gonzalez, the one-act (presented by Right Angle Entertainment) deftly mimics the maudlin melodrama of the hit ABC show, including its preshow promos and tearful goodbyes."

"...I will tell you that the songs are very cute, although a bit hokey. The "Two On One Tango" ( choreographer Sheena Laird did a great job on this one) is fun and the "Penis or Heart" number is hysterical ( costumes by Jessica Sheehan are a stitch). All of the women are talented and can sing and move well. Ceciia Hole as Lauren P does a smashing job with her "More Than A Virgin" number and Alexandria Neyhart as Lauren T is a powerhouse. Ann Delaney is Lauren R and Chelsie Cravens brings Lauren M. to life. Nina Jayashankar rounds out the lady cast as Jayshia."
Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended
"...With a television show that was just begging to be parodied, featuring over-the-top characters and witty songs, this is an hilariously entertaining way to both warm your heart on a cold, winter Chicago evening, while offering so many laughs in the process. Men will enjoy all the bodacious babes in this show and women, especially bachelorette parties, will find this the perfect show for unbridled fun. The clever script showcases the talents of an excellent cast, while it provides lot of humor, no matter your level of love for the franchise. Whether you're a rabid fan of "The Bachelor," merely a passing acquaintance of the series or, like me, have never watched it, there's something in this silly one-act musical for everyone. By the final curtain, the one question on every audience member's mind will certainly be, "Who will get the final rose?""

"...What's so fun about Bachelor: The Unauthorized Parody Musical is that the material speaks to a deep understanding of The Bachelor's faults, but also to the simple belief that love is out there for all of us, no matter how cringe it may get. Hilarious, self-aware, an enormously enjoyable night out."

"...All told, BACHELOR: THE UNAUTHORIZED PARODY MUSICAL is exceedingly clever, legitimately funny, and far wittier than the ABC series itself. This show earns my rose."
