Posted: 11/13/05 at 4:34pmI had a great time. It's worth seeing for the female quotient in the cast alone.

Posted: 11/14/05 at 12:26amYes! Yes! Yes! I think it was one of the most underapriciated shows of the fall season. And not to mention laugh out loud hysterical...im thinking of catching it again before it closes.

Sorry, I found it to be a weakly staged, poorly paced, unevenly acted, mediocre production. Somehow this production managed to lose about 80% of the laughs in the script. I've seen amateur productions of this play that were VASTLY superior to this one. Don't bother.

I went to see it on Monday and I actually liked it. I think act II was by far the best out of the 3. The first act seemed a bit slow to me. They didn't use all the opportunities/jokes the playwrite gave them. There was a funny moment though. At one point Clea Lewis' character is supposed to lock herself out. When she tried to force the door open to get back in it actually did open, even though it was not suppoed to. She handled it well though. She cloed it real quick and she added a sorta'(I sorta locked myself out) to her line. The audience seemed to appreciate it.
I was really glad to see Deborah Rush and Clea Lewis on stage for the very first tie, and very glad to see Mireille Enos again! She was great as Honey and she's very good as Eva too.
I think it is worth checking out.
