Went with a large group and everyone loved it! Witty and intelligent writing, combined with excellent performances from the small cast. This highly entertaining show was both thought-provoking *and* devilishly funny. The theater was also great, with nice waiting areas, restrooms and refreshments, and air conditioning. ...

"Angels & Whiskey" proved that the leading man could well have Hollywood saying "Hugh who???". A very engaging performance and storyline....
