I had a fantastic time watching this show! I loved every actor and what they brought to each character. I laughed numerous times and found it to be witty and fun! A definite on the "to see" list for Fringe.... full review

A hoot and a half! Broad musical comedy with great songs beautifully sung by hilarious domestics from iconic TV shows and a modern family in need of help. ... full review

I was literally rolling with laughter during parts of this show. If you are a child of 80s sitcoms there is no way you wont be entertained. The character references are very funny and the storyline is cute. Great talent. Ashley and Nell had spectacular voices and Rosie was hysterical! And who could not love a cameo from Mrs. Garrett. Definitely worth seeing.... full review

This adorable imagining of sit-com residents of a fictional Studio City seeking out domestic help from the cream of the TV universe housekeepers crop was high on laughs, flowing with fond memories, and very sweet. The parade of favorite teevee maids and household help was hysterical and warm. A winning concept. A witty script and book. Catchy tunes. And especially bright and funny performances by a talented cast. ... full review

SO MUCH FUN! The time flew. This show won't give you the meaning of life, but, it is entertaining, campy, and full of good performances. Scot played by Ryan O'Connor is very funny. Loved the scene between Rosey, Gabby Sanalitro and Lurch, Matt Musgrove, hysterical. joe Greene is adorable yet creepy as Mrs. Garrett and Lorie Moore who plays Nell, Florence and Fresh Prince was also a stand out for me. Really good ensemble. The night I went, the audience seemed equally enthusiastic so the energy was high. Really liked the set design and the use of the space was smart. I recommend this show highly. You'll be pissed about parking, but the show is worth it!... full review

Way too formulaic, canned music, hollow characters; not my favorite. A mom in the Nick-at-Nite world of "Studio City" tries to get onto "The Real Housewives of Studio City", but needs a housekeeper to play opposite. The musical review of classic tv maids/housekeepers begins with Nell Carter; she's sassy, she sings, she leaves. NEXT! Enter Lurch and Rosie the Robot; they're silly, they sing, they leave. NEXT! See where I'm going with this? There is NO story, no lessons, no growth; the entire experience left me wincing from its ham-handedness. This unfortunately will be a huge hit with people who love Las Vegas review shows, which I'm sure with a limited Fringe run, they'll probably find plenty of. PS. Prepare yourself for the hide... full review

So much FUN! I loved the clever lyrics and the over the top camp of the show. Donuts for dinner, indeed!... full review
JOSH MOORE certified reviewer June 09, 2013
As a baby boomer it was great fun to see a musical that brought together some of the best characters from my tv childhood in a clever, sophisticated one act play. Great acting, music and choreography made a great book brilliant. This one is a hilarious must see! ... full review

It was such fun revisiting some of the iconic TV characters of my childhood. The impersonations by the talented cast were spot on. I was smiling throughout this production.... full review

What a great all-around show! The writing, the catchy original songs(I still have shimmy and shake in my head), the spot-on costumes, and the actors who brought their television characters to life were amazing! I will be recruiting friends and family for another showing of the RHKSC as the entire ensemble was thoroughly impressive for their opening night preview! ... full review
