If you like "The Room", then this show is for you. It has a tremendous idea for the adaptation but ultimately marred by clunky writing, absurdly over the top acting, and scene transitions that need to be worked out pronto.... full review

A thoroughly enjoyable comedy that is highly effective in being an insight on Filipino American history during the 1930's while also being an engaging story anchored by strong performances from the ensemble.... full review

Sex and the Musical

edward hong · June 16, 2018 certified reviewer
Laura Wiley has done it again, with a fantastic parody of Sex and the City! I am a huge fan of the show, but you could go into this show not knowing a thing about it and still have a blast! The production is a prequel to Sex and the City, with poignant references to the show, but Wiley does an excellent job of keeping things fresh and smart for old fans and those new to that New York scene.I would love to see this made into a full-length musical, enhanced with a full set. This is a definite MUST-... full review
