Amazing fun. I don't want to give any spoilers away but I WANT to give all the spoilers away. It's a party. It feels like a party. The guests have all arrived and are called upon to celebrate the unveiling... let's leave it at that. Would I go again? You betcha.... full review

Hilarious, informative, engaging. This show was such a treat. I had a blast, laughed my ass off, and learned some interesting historical facts. This show shines an important light on the experiences and perspectives of women and the struggles even the most privileged faced during the Napoleonic era and today. I can't recommend this show enough.... full review

This was a funny and delightful exploration into the life of Napolean's sister. Without knowing very much history of this woman, it was fun to see her life through a modern lens. ... full review

Delightfully recommended! Laugher awaits you as Pauline Bonaparte and her brainy attending lady prepare for a party to unveil her nude statue that was supposed to have been virtuous. They make every man who enters dance around their saucy charm and astute wit, including an occasional audience member stepping onstage in the role of one of her lovers who unknowingly gets swept up in audience guffaws. The female cast playing true historical figures makes for a hysterically anachronistic commentary on feminism and the patriarchy of Napoleonic code that resonates today. ... full review

Shannon Corbeil has written a cohesive, empowering but also hilarious play. This loosely based reimaginaion of a historical time cleverly demonstrates the plight women face even today to be treated with dignity and respect, but crafts its message with such humor that the audience was laughing through the all too fast hour. The entire cast was amazing and they seamlessly incorporated audience members dialogue into their responses. I may have a new favorite phrase for a particular part of a woman’s anatomy! ... full review
