Los Angeles Times review of The Electric Company

Robert Lloyd of the L.A. Times wrote this review of The Electric Company on Jan. 19, 2009.

Notes about me:

Their nemeses are the Pranksters, who make the more vivid impression and whose leader, Francine (Ashley Morris), in the opening episode steals Keith’s mad, mad, super-bad special skill.

And though I was at first distressed to see Tom Lehrer’s sweet ode to “Silent E” (”A little glob becomes a globe instantly/If you just add silent e”) rewritten into a kind of “Middle School Musical” production number, it won me over in the end.

New York Times review of Die Mommie Die

This review was published in the New York Times on Oct. 22, 2007.

One tidbit about me:

The performances in the stage version are bigger and cruder, closer to quick-sketch impersonations, which offer pleasures of their own. (I especially enjoyed Ms. Morris’s doom-speaking mod-Electra daughter.)

The cast listing:

WITH: Charles Busch (Angela Arden), Bob Ari (Sol Sussman), Van Hansis (Lance Sussman), Chris Hoch (Tony Parker), Ashley Morris (Edith Sussman) and Kristine Nielsen (Bootsie Carp).
