I haven't posted anything on this blog in a long time. However, I will say that since the show has opened and is running here at Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C., the cast and crew is having a lot of fun. The audiences too!
Here are some of the reviews and articles we have attracted. You can see some fun color photos in these links too.
The Washington Post did a feature article about the history of the play, and this production.
The Washington Examiner reviewed the "wonderful...fun" show as full of "wit and style."
Theatremania.com said the show is "a laugh-filled trip to the moon."
Talkinbroadway.com called the show "a genuine guilty pleasure."
Metro Weekly says the "glamorous" production is akin to "an enjoyably trashy beach read."
This blogger calls the show "fabulous...hilarious...irreverent."
DC Theatre Scene says the show is "an over-the-top comic sensation...outrageously funny."
Here is a Metro Weekly article about the revival of James Kirkwood's play and James Lecesne's participation.
And this is a Washington Blade article about the play and yours truly.
The Washington City Paper says: "With John Epperson’s larger-than-life Lypsinka as part of the equation, there’s a certain unhinged something going on at Studio. It’s probably a good thing that Epperson—who as the pencil-browed, pencil-thin Lypsinka has made a career out of paying caustically inspired homage to exactly the sort of divas Legends! sends up, and who’s apparently been intrigued by the play for years—has had a whack at the script: At roughly 90 minutes, peppered with up-to-the-minute cracks about tabloid personalities and pop-culture events...interesting in a let’s-think-about-what-makes-an-entertainment sort of way."
Don't miss this show! I have no idea if it will ever be done again! And Studio has given it a beautiful production.
