. . The theater erupts in booming gusts of laughter that
practically shake the seats!"--The New York Times "Hugely
entertaining . . . few contemporary playwrights have proven as deft

folly. . . . in its own deliciously madcap way, the new work offers
some keen insights into the challenges and agonies of 21st-century
life."--USA Today "We get too few comedies on Broadway, much less
ones with the breezy wit and satirical bite of this one."--Time Out

ride! Hugely entertaining!"--USA Today "Entirely, indisputably,
oh-no-he-didn't Durang."--Entertainment Weekly "The funniest show
in town!"--Bloomberg "Riotous! The kind of full-on comedy that's
rare on Broadway. It makes you laugh out loud, and repeatedly at
that!"--New York Post "Nothing short of hilarious! It leaves the
audience in tears of laughter!"--The Huffington Post "Hilarious
with an inspired cast!"--Variety "One of the funniest comedies
Broadway has seen in seasons."--Newsday "A comic tour de
