Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon

I really liked the show It had a lot of catchy tunes, it was funny and included so many of the "standard" western tropes in a very clever way Yee Haw!... full review

One of the funniest and funnest shows I’ve seen in a long time. It’s very cleverly written and the performances are all delightful. I had a big smile on my face from start to finish, and beyond. ... full review

A fabulously funny one act old west operetta in the style of Gilbert & Sullivan. Joyous and silly with a biting lyrical wit, Gunfight merges the musical complexity of light opera (including singers with gorgeous voices) with the tone and narrative sensibility of Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. The performers all have legit opera voices and the composer/librettist pulls off the extremely difficult trick of writing beautiful music which is also very humorous. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an hour's whimsical respite from all the doom and gloom. ... full review

Composer/Creator Brooke DeRosa has an obvious affection for, and understanding of, the mix of catchy melody and clever lyrics that made Gilbert & Sullivan’s works audience favorites for well over a century. But rather than contenting herself with placing PIRATES OF PENZANCE on the next SpaceX shuttle, DeRosa has created her own homage to G & S, with GUNFIGHT AT THE NOT-SO-OK SALOON. And a very fun evening it is. ... full review

Trained opera singers...in a Western...at the Hollywood Fringe?! You bet your boot straps! And it's WAY better than ok, it's a BLAST.... full review

A fun romp of silly with the creative and musical sophistication to keep it from being frivolous. Like Gilbert and Sullivan where the craft of writing is the true star of the show, I found myself wanting to see the score and read the libretto to catch it all. Would love to hear this with live instruments. This was a fun world to hang around and the actors and stage direction executed the story beautifully!... full review
