The Golden Girls: The Cheese Pyramid Reviews

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...If you were breathing from 1985 to 1992 (or have since been addicted to MeTV), you might recall how the show struck a prickly balance: There was body-shaming, slut-shaming, acerbic putdowns about beauty and intelligence, and all the toxic mind games women presumably partake in to assert their dominance. Then there was the cozy, familiar world of their home, a safe space devoid of men (except for Stan, Dorothy’s amiable ex, and some of Blanche’s occasional buffoonish dates)."

"...I attended the final preview performance before opening night, and the audience was in stitches from beginning to end. I loved the new sets, and the use of video screens and televisions added another level to the production. Their world premiere parody, The Golden Girls: The Cheese Pyramid — “their lost episode” — was absolutely perfect. And please, keep in the moments when Blanche covered for Dorothy’s missing lines. Priceless."

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...This very funny, often adult-rated comic creation, ranks up there with David Cerda’s other hilarious, LGBTQ+ Hell in a Handbag creations. Never subtle, always totally over-the-top, this new parody of THE GOLDEN GIRLS is perfect for a light-hearted summer entertainment. Not only is this lost episode fast-paced, funny and filled with R-rated fun, but there’s even an opportunity to get your photo taken with the cast after the show, especially with the newest cast member: sweet, little Walter the Wonder Dog."

Allie and the After Party - Highly Recommended

"... In the latest of the lost Golden Girls episodes, Rose has invested in a cheese business from St. Olaf, much to the chagrin of the girls. Hell in a Handbag is back with a show that is quintessential HIAH full of their signature camp and jokes."
