Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical presented by Easy Street Players at Athenaeum Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...This thing should really zip along, but it is saddled with extended blackouts between every scene to move a bench, literally, a few inches to the left or the right. Ever heard of a transition? No question the budget here was miniscule, but I can't imagine why Amellio wouldn't use the silliness (and bad music) of the genre more to his advantage."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...There's definite comic potential in the idea of transforming a sex film into wholesome musical comedy, but the Easy Street Players' rather pedestrian effort doesn't go far enough in the direction of smut or corn."

Time Out Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...Relying on a handful of meatheaded gags, Amellio’s production reaches only an nth of its own obvious potential for pleasure. Buff, pert Roeper couldn’t make more of the titular role—she even manages to sell her songs while singing to crummy taped accompaniment. But this troupe has clearly licensed someone else’s idea for a late-night romp without creating its own."
