"PIG FARM isn't meant to be too closely scrutinized. It's broad, playful and eager to tickle more than provoke. How funny you'll find it will depend on your taste for tastelessness. I laughed quite a bit. Kotis has a knack for sending up genres (westerns, mortgaged-farm weepies, even gory thrillers, such as 'Fatal Attraction') while carefully maintaining a distinctive theatrical voice."
L.A. folks - if this sounds like your cup of tea, check it out. I had fun at the NY production. 'Pig Farm' Review - L.A. Times

But come on...Logan Marshall-Green's hotness was worth it.

Secondly, it will play South Coast Repertory in Orange County later this season.
Thirdly, it is truly one of the few plays I ever walked out on at intermission. Despite talented actors, the play itself is dreadful.
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"
I found the first act painfully unfunny and never so much as cracked a smile, let alone laughed during it. I left at intermission (and apparently I wasn't alone in thinking this -- at least a dozen people fled for the exit at the same time I did). Great cast. Awful play.
