"...Durang's lyrics are equally frivolous--simple, sugary rhymes that go down as easy as an appletini . . . at least the first ten times. But director Toma Langston makes passable use of the venue's tight, awkward space, and it's easy to imagine getting tipsy enough to have as much fun as the cast clearly are. As opium-addicted bargirl Corinna, Lena Dansdill projects a brassy, goofy charm that sets her apart in a well-rounded cast."

"...The production doesn’t really try to be anything it’s not: a group of mostly kids acting in a bar. There are problems: the sound’s not great, and the actors have trouble projecting through the songs, and aren’t great dancers – and I think the only thing on stage that likes women is Jordan Phelps (which is neither here nor there in-and-of-itself, but when you can tell regardless of the acting, it becomes an issue)."

"...I do recommend this show (if sound problems are fixed) – and then I recommend that one spends some time checking out such Noir classics as "Gilda", "Out of the Past", or my favorite "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers". The Film Noir is a genre that casts a jaundiced eye on the morals and class war in post war America. This is what Durang was aiming for and this talented cast deserves a chance to hit the mark."
