9/22/2008 - Get Ready for a Fun "Girls Night" Out Review
The opening night of "Girls Night: The Musical" at Shea's Smith Theatre was an estrogen extravaganza. Under a spinning disco ball, there was raucous laughter, singing and dancing - and that was just the audience.
8/8/2008 - Raucous "Girls Night" fun for all Review
The estrogen level of "Girls Night" did everything it could to blow the roof off of the palatial Hanover Theatre Wednesday night.
7/17/2008 - Girls Night: The Musical - Get Ready for Estrogen Overload Review
Imagine this if you can: "Sex in the City" meets "Desperate Housewives." Then, throw in "Grease" as the offbeat third ingredient and you've got "Girls Night: The Musical."
5/30/2008 - Girls Night: The Musical Review
I must say I was pleasantly surprised after dragging my baby-booming, starch-conservative mother out to "Girls Night: The Musical" last night.
It even sent my Pentecostal mother on a laughing spree...
5/14/2008 - Leave The Man at Home For Fun Musical Review
Think just as funny and raunchy as "Sex in the City," although definitely not as sophisticated.
4/4/2008 - Broadway Series South: Girls Night: The Musical Review
Last night, this uproarious musical comedy, produced by Entertainment Events Inc. and Robert Dragotta of New York City and presented April 1 - 6 by Broadway Series South, had the mostly female audience in A.J. Fletcher Opera Theatre rocking, from its opening number - Diana Ross' "Remember Me" (1971) to its exuberant encore of Gloria Gaynor's 1978 chart-topper "I Will Survive."

So, a nun walks into a theater. No, really. It's not a joke. Not yet.
10/31/2007 - Paramount musical celebrates female friendships News and Press Releases
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.
11/28/2006 - Watch out, wise men: Sister's a wiseacre Review
Now for something completely different - at least in these rancorous times: a comedy inspired by the Catholic Church that isn't edgy or angry or blasphemous.

The Phantoms Review 'Girls Night: The Musical'
Hilarious and toe-tapping, Girls Night: The Musical follows five friends as they re-live their past, celebrate the present and look to the future during a wild and outrageous girls night out at a karaoke bar, normal enough, aside from the fact that one of them is dead and appears in the play as an unseen angel, fully clad in glittering white denim and wings.

'Girls Night': More Than Karaoke
"Girls Night: The Musical" is the kind of show best viewed with a gaggle of girlfriends and a pitcher of margaritas.

Despite rough edges, 'Girls Night' is fun
The mood was celebratory, and the theme was "Girls Night" Tuesday evening at the Overture Center, and there was no shortage of capris, painted toenails and fast-paced chatter.

Sister has her eagle eye out for all our sins
Sister was not pleased. There were gum chewers at her adult catechism class. And Methodists. And a few women with bare shoulders.

The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Unicorn Theatre, Review
The Great American Trailer Park Musical is one of the best shows I’ve seen at the Unicorn in a good while. It’s not a cynical, campy satire on the trashy people who live in trailer parks.

The Great American Trailer Park Musical
If you were in the Times Square area anytime from 8 o'clock to 10 on Tuesday night and were frightened by continual explosive sounds followed by shrieks and screams, you needn't worry. It was just the audience at the first performance of "The Great American Trailer Park Musical," all of them laughing hard enough to make a swig of Wild Turkey come out their noses.

Scream Baby!
"SHOUT! The Mod Musical" promises nothing but laughter and good times, with or without the Devil's weed. Stepping into Theatre4301 last weekend was like taking a trip back in time to London's groovy, 1960's mod scene, where sex, drugs and music were as widely experimented with as vinyl and garish polyester fashions.

'Trailer Park Musical' is loud, earthy fun
Wouldn't it be nice if the season's best musical so far were one of those new-fangled, offbeat pieces with the sheen of intellectual cachet? Or maybe a great classic show revisited and illuminated afresh? It isn't. It's a loud, lewd, lowbrow, white-trash thing called "The Great American Trailer Park Musical..."

Downstairs Cabaret's "SHOUT The Mod Musical"
Downstairs Cabaret has heavily hyped its new show, "SHOUT! The Mod Musical," as the next "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change." Given the astounding run of the latter - seven years and counting at Downstairs Cabaret's Windsor Street location - "SHOUT!" has some big shoes to fill. Thankfully the cast features five talented women, an amazing catalogue of songs, and some groovy boots just made for walking. It's frothy, infectious fun.

A Saintly Lesson in Laughs
A New York City bakery once ran an ad campaign that featured the tagline, "You don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's." Similarly, you don't have to be Catholic to enjoy "Late Nite Catechism," a delightful comedy by Maripat Donovan and Vicki Quade...

SHOUT! is a Swinging Treat from the '60's
Groovy - or as Austin Powers would say, "smashing baby" - is appropriate lingo for describing "SHOUT! The Mod Musical," which has made its Rochester debut at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre.

Unicorn offers peek at next season
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.
