"Parker Watson is the gold standard."

-Kristen Davis

"With respect to all the physical elements of the show, I must point out that in this particular production, it is the lighting that takes the cake. The complex plot is a plethora of amazement that one must experience to believe. It blows the audience away from the first second and is literally worth the price of admission alone."

-Paul Bruce
