Terrific. It is a feel good happy show. The singing and dancing was fabulous. I highly recommend it. It is one of the best things we saw this year.

Fun. DeBenedictis, Dyer and Carlisle have teamed up to provide us with 10 hummable, witty/poignant and well-presented musical numbers that make the most of mid-life reminiscing. The cast has uniformly good voices and they fill the house well with solos and ensemble work. Kelly Mantle is batting 1.000 with Jo, a boozy tranny whose impeccable timing makes the most of those expressive Rocky Horror lips and flouncy, Cher-like moves. Steven Connor is a natural and Chase McCown charms with his goofy sweetness. Devlin delightfully shocks with her transformation from dowdy spoilsport to "what-a-voice!" performer when she starts to sing. Others bring big voices, too, including Carmen Miranda devotee Herrera, "hear me in the rafters" Hirschi, warmly avuncular Warnock and the Felix Unger-like, fussy Williams. The downside to this show is what happens between songs.

A perfect cast brings love, joy and reflection to life in this well written piece. The singing and dancing were icing on the cake. Los Angeles really has some great theatre.

I went last night, and thoroughly enjoyed this show. It was so entertaining, and the cast is so talented- and diverse.

It's refreshing to find a play (with music on top of it) that deals with older gay men, and that is a big plus in local theater. The play is OK, although the theme is not new - a group of friends get together to honor/celebrate the life of someone who has died. The singing is fine, if not outstanding. The acting is OK too, rangingfrom stiff to very good. Not a great show, but a pleasant one. Again, the subject matter makes this a welcome production.
