A dark, absurd, hilarious and twisted journey with Nancy! ... full review

I couldn't stop laughing. As the title suggests, it was historic, gay and a clown show. The guy behind me laughed every breath he took. It is absurd, interesting and brave. And GAY! Wonderful and joyful and GAY! Nancy would hate it, except she would love it, because it is about her.... full review

YAS SEAMUS! What a beguiling, madcap, hallucinatory, joyful, funny experience. I could have hung out with Seamus's Nancy all night. From the hauntingly screwed-up piano playing to the delicious movement to the super funny jokes to the truly resonant side-eye commentary on how power corrupts, this show is giving you true clowning with true depth and delight. GOOOO! ... full review

This play is all the title suggests. It is historical and gay; it stars Nancy; and its a bit clownish. But there is a tender beating heart beneath the camp, and that is the genius of this piece. ... full review

Seamus is so talented, from the piano playing to dancing, to moving a big ass piano in heels! This diva can do it all! I laughed at so many historical figures and events referenced in the show I was surprised! I think Seamus made me smart? 😂 The set design was beautifully done, the fog and lights looked sooo cool! great visuals. ... full review

Seamus is working at the edge of so many different forms -- it's as if he's testing the limits of each of them; clown, tragedy, camp, the American musical, the history play, and cabaret. All of it in service to a mysterious ghost story that rises up between the cracks until the whole space is thick with fog. It's funny, it's disconcerting, and it practices a kind of perfect restraint. Nancy doesn't need you or anybody else to perform her strange routine in purgatory, and Seamus doesn't need you either -- it's clear that he's performing on behalf of the gay ghost world that Mrs. Reagan ignored, and we're just lucky to be there. ... full review

I absolutely loved it. Even though some of the references were beyond me since I don't know much about her story, the performance was unforgettable. The piano playing was masterful, the singing was some of the most beautiful I have ever heard live, and the way this woman was brought to life on stage was so convincing it often felt like she was real. I walked in gay and left gayer, fully seduced by the psychotic behavior of this woman.... full review

Riotous, tender and a little unhinged - just like I love my former first ladies. Seamus is a delight and look forward to what he brings next. Superior costume and makeup. Super lighting and cleaver tech accessories. ... full review
