7/21/2010 - Girls Night is definitely one for the ladies! Review
But the less-than-traditional audience that filled the theater was merely a reflection of the show on stage. As the name suggests, "Girls Night" is definitely one for the ladies, although there were a handful of brave men in the crowd on opening night. ("Suckers!" the welcoming voice-over playfully taunted.) On the surface "Girls Night" appears to be a glorified bachelorette party onstage, but at its core, the show is a relatively rousing two-hour celebration of girl power.

As we are currently experiencing a heatwave in Rochester, I thought it only apropos to talk about the heatwave happening in our Mainstage, namely Girls Night the Musical. Think of it as “Sex in the City” meets “Desperate Housewives” with a little Mamma Mia thrown in for good measure.

4/28/2010 - "Girls" is a Bunch of Fun Review
From The Philadelphia Inquirer, By Toby Zinman: The "girls" who came to see Girls Night were every age, shape, size, race, and color. There were even a few guys. A group of 11 high school teachers was sitting next to me. Everybody seemed to have the same good time. The show's unpretentious fun and the talented, unembarrassable women on stage had all of the audience on their feet, clapping, singing, and dancing in the aisles.

7/27/2009 - GIRLS NIGHT: THE MUSICAL at the Downstairs Cabaret at Sofia's Review
When the whole audience joins in to chant "I Will Survive," you realize that "Girls Night: The Musical" is not just a silly bachelorette-flavored night on the town. It's a rally. It involves the audience deeply and sincerely in a way that the current Broadway production of "Hair," in its earnestness, can only envy.

There's nothing quite so entertaining as watching girls who just want to have fun. They can be catty and cynical, silly or serious, weepy or wistful. And they've evene been known to get a bit raunchy every now and then - usually after midnight and only with the most innocent of intentions.
10/25/2007 - Sister rules, with sharp humor and nostalgia Review
"Late Nite Catechism" at the Olney Theatre Center for the Arts through Nov. 11, takes a hilarious and nostalgic look at parochial school education 40-some years ago, and incorporates many of the changes in the church since then, but it is never unkind or cynical about either the old or the new ways.

Unicorn offers peek at next season‘La Cage,’ ‘Faith Healer’ and ‘Lieutenant of Inishmore’ on tap.By ROBERT TRUSSELLThe Kansas City StarPart of the Unicorn 2007-08 season will have a frothy French flavor. And then part of it will be perversely Irish. The nonprofit midtown theater company has not announced its full season but last week was willing to unveil three shows slated for production. Jeff Church, artistic director of the Coterie Theatre, will stage “La Cage aux Folles,” the hit Broadway musical that opened in 1983 and ran for four years. The show is based on a play by Jean Poiret, which in turn became the basis of a popular 1978 French film. The farce depicts what happens when a gay couple, Albin and Georges, try to conceal the nature of their relationship when they are visited by Georges’ son and fiancée and her parents. Georges is the “straight” half of the couple, while Albin is a flamboyant, cross-dressing nightclub entertainer. Ron Megee will play Albin opposite Jim Korinke as Georges. The cast will include Jim Birdsall, Julie Shaw, Aurelie Roque and Christopher Barksdale. The Unicorn also will stage “The Lieutenant of Inishmore,” Martin McDonagh’s absurdist gore fest about a freelance Irish terrorist who goes postal when he thinks his beloved cat has been killed. Count on lots of gunplay and exploding blood packs. “Inishmore” was a hit in New York last year, first as an off-Broadway production and later as a Tony-nominated Broadway show. Joe Price, who staged McDonagh’s “The Pillowman” and “The Cripple of Inishmaan” for local audiences, will direct. Another hit in New York last year was a revival of Brian Friel’s “Faith Healer,” a powerful three-character drama about an itinerant healer, his cockney manager and his long-suffering wife. “Faith Healer” was first staged in New York in 1979 and, coupled with “La Cage,” marks a departure from the Unicorn’s pattern of producing only recent plays. At the risk of seeming immodest, I cannot resist pointing out that your theater critic in these very pages called for a local production of Friel’s challenging play, principally because Kansas City has the acting talent to do the piece justice. I tip my hat to the Unicorn for stepping up to the plate. The Unicorn also reports that its wild and wacky holiday show, “The Great American Trailer Park Musical,” attracted 4,111 theatergoers, making it the fourth most popular show in the Unicorn’s history. Marketing director Justin Shaw explained that because the theater had to add chairs for many performances, the show actually ran more than 100 percent capacity. Not bad. “Crowns” remains the most popular show at the Unicorn, followed by “Take Me Out” and “Bat Boy: The Musical.”
