JOHN BLOSSOM certified reviewer June 16, 2014
"Women" is a treat - well written, crisply acted, thoughtful, and highly entertaining. You'll love the self-obsessed language of the manipulative "girls" in this play as well as the unexpected musical numbers. ... full review
GREGORY CRAFTS uncertified reviewer June 16, 2014
An incredibly clever laugh riot! This brilliant merger of classic literature and modern pop culture is an absolute must-see. Do not miss it. ... full review
CHRIS FARAH certified reviewer June 16, 2014
This show is something truly special, the collaborative effort between an amazingly talented cast and Chiara Atik's writing is beyond magical. You will laugh heartily, even if you aren't familiar with HBO's Girls or Alcott's Little Women, however if you're fans of either YOU WOULD BE INSANE TO MISS THIS PRODUCTION. Easily my fringe favorite so far, I almost couldn't deal with how great it was.... full review

Brilliant and spot on in every way possible. Women is the show to beat at this year's Fringe (so to speak). #bethdies... full review
BOB LEGGETT certified reviewer June 19, 2014
Billed as a mash-up of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and HBO's Girls, Women is a farcical and hilarious romp through a classic piece of literature, much like A Knight's Tale did with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Check out the rest of the review at Examiner.com.... full review
STEVEN STANLEY certified reviewer June 19, 2014
The hands-down laughs-per-minute champ at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival may well be Women (aka Women The Show), Chiara Atik’s NYC-bred mashup of Louisa Mae Alcott’s Little Women and Lena Dunham’s Girls, and you don’t have to know a thing about the HBO hit to have a Fringetastic time with Jo, Meg, Beth, Amy and their entourage. Yes, fans of Dunham’s 21st Century big girls will likely recognize Marmie’s brood as (respectively) Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna, and Jessa—or so I’m told—but all you really need to know is that the second Marmie has left the room, the March girls start gabbing in contemporary big-city-girl vernacular (sis Amy’s delivered with Jessa’s crisp British vowels, never mind why) despite period garb and references to t... full review
MARLANE BARNES certified reviewer June 20, 2014
Do not walk RUN to see this show before it's sold out, or pray it gets extended. I am going a second time myself. This goes much further than the original concept, which is basically genius, and manages to delight and surprise at every turn. People who love Little Women and/or GIRLS will dig the hell of out it, but someone who isn't familiar with those would love it too. The performances are funny yet grounded, with the whole play being hilarious with some very touching moments! My only notes for the production would be to take your time - they seem to have gotten caught up in the idea that it is "fast paced" and sometimes moments don't land quite the way they could. The other note is about the way the play is structured- I understand it was... full review
BRANDON CLARK certified reviewer June 21, 2014
Really sharp and funny show. Spot on performances and writing. Don't think I'll ever look at Little Women the same way again.... full review
JOSEPH MCMAHON uncertified reviewer June 21, 2014
This is probably the most polished show I've seen at this years Fringe. Everything about it is crisp and clean--lights, sounds, sets, blocking, acting, and it's hilarious to boot! I've never read Little Women or watched Girls (of which this is meant to be a mash-up of), but there are laughs aplenty even without getting what I have to assume are a ton of inside jokes. This is an absolute 'must see' production and if there are seats still available you should grab yourself one ASAP.... full review
