Bravo, Queer Classics! Absolutely adored this fresh take on a fabulous classic. Brilliant performances all around (I started to write, "particularly by," but realized literally everyone was fantastic!!)!! It was a packed house when I saw it, and I'd heard a lot of buzz leading up to it, and it definitely did not disappoint. Also, made me hungry for cucumber sandwiches, I recommend having some after. GO!... full review

FANTASTIC! This production was constantly delightful, hilarious, and (most wonderfully of all) surprising--there were so many clever details and small moments that made me see new aspects of a play I've loved for years (plus, the costumes were amazing). The actors were wonderful--they all had such a clear grasp on their characters as well as terrific comic timing. I really want to see this again. ... full review

The actors were awesome! It was such a great play I could see it again! It was very funny and the play was the best, I doubt that it could have been any better. So glad I went and met about 7 friends there too. It was sold out too.... full review

Honestly, I came to support a friend and secretly thought, " why this show? " it's been done to death and.... All male? Why?? It was mind-blowing funny, the actors were fantastic, the language present and the text honored but most important I just laughed my ass off. The simple staging and kind of perfect direction focused the show on the hilarious writing made even funnier by the unique characterization. I can't imagine it being done straight now. Thanks so much, I'm sincerely glad I came. ... full review

Fantastic and fresh way of telling a classic story. It highlighted Wilde's wit and language and didn't distract with over the top elements. Well done; I would love to see more classics honored and presented in such an entertaining way!... full review
SUZE LANIER uncertified reviewer June 20, 2014
FUNNY, REFRESHING, CLEVERLY directed. All of the actors were spot on with their comedic timing. Mason McCulley (Gwendlen) and Grant Jordan (Cecily) were hysterical in their roles that were originally written to be played by females. Nancy LaScala, as Lady Bracknell, is regal, beautiful, and believable as the British matriach. All of the actors were outstanding. I would never want to see this play done any other way again.... full review
