This play is just a hoot, and not just for those who've been in "this town" long enough to remember the days of the Thomas Guide, answering services and Hamburger Hamlet being the place to be. Yes, the Hollywood industry insider jokes are in there, but even my brother-in-law (a bonafide show biz civilian) found it hysterical. And what a delicious treat to see four brilliant actresses deliver the wickedly funny lines of Stan Zimmerman and Christian McLaughlin with such panache! Daniele Gaither, Teresa Ganzel, Vicky Lewis and Carolyn Hennesy are just spot on in their delivery and squeezing the heck out of four delightful characters. I could go on and on about how each of these ladies are a-mah-zing, but let's just say this is one priceless ens... full review

So many relateable references in this show. I really was laughing a lot. Each of the actors was a trip in their own way. The monologues ran deep, yet were portrayed hysterically. If you know someone in "the biz," OR if you know someone in "the biz," or you are curious about the real thoughts and lives of people in "the biz." This is a must see. They are adding one more show on July 11th. I hope you get to see it. It is well worth it. GO!... full review

One of the freshest and funniest shows about what it's like for actresses of a certain age to compete for the same part in a TV show. It is full of great inside Hollywood jokes and the 4 actresses all shined in their individual roles. In a play with 4 strong roles it's usually one of the 4 who outshine the others, but not in this case. Each of the 4 actresses shined on their own and bounced well off the others!The one who tied it all together, the office assistant, (Paul Iacono) added a biting humor to the story. And if that wasn't good enough I got to see SHIRLEY MACLAINE in the audience! Great show! I think they are having an encore performance in July! Lots of fun!... full review

Meet & Greet is a stunner the whole way through. The cast is perfect and everyone delivers a hilarious performance.. Writers Zimmerman & Maclaughlin pull out all the stops and take shots at everyone in the industry. This play is not to be missed - and I expect to see it on Broadway someday soon.... full review

We went there to see and support Daniele Gaither thinking, "if she's involved, it must be good, she's brilliant and we love her." It was absolutely stunning. Let's start with the writing. It's as dazzling as anything we've seen in ten years. The concept was inspired, every character had unbelievable attention to detail, and there were so many hilarious ideas and moments we almost didn't want to laugh, because if you laughed out loud you would miss the next funny line. And many funny lines were missed. Every actor was incredible. Putting it in words diminished the richness of the experience. I don't want to give anything away except to say, they were all extraordinary. Every performance was delivered pitch perfect. Every character was luminou... full review
