Steamwerkz The Musical Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...But the character work and the songs by Tara Trudel, as well as the off-kilter digs at the vagaries of semi-underground gay culture, definitely go a long way toward making up for the wheel-spinning moments. The Two Twinkies deliver an exhaustive (and exhausting) translation to Al of all the different body language cues on display. One of the few that can be repeated here is "If you touch your pinkie to someone's elbow, that means 'In a few months, we should get a reservation for the Girl and the Goat.'""

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Though the comedy goes limp (sorry) as the through-the-looking-glass premise gives way to a story about lonely souls "looking for love and settling for less," the show is redeemed by Tara Trudel's peppy score and some sharply drawn characterizations from the cast. Zach Zimmerman and Chris Kervick are especially good as a pair of empty-headed front-desk clerks."
