“Fierstein’s meticulous dialogue, Joe Mantello’s smooth and confident direction, the cast’s flawless performances.”

“The story still has plenty of energy and surefooted emotion even if it doesn't quite pack a knockout punch.”

“It's as joyfully airheaded and kitschy as a drag show, which should make it a must-see for anyone with a more-is-more stance on sequins.”

“The most serious flaw of this handsome, classical production is that it burns a bit too hot.”

“But like its marquee star, Elling doesn't feel quite ready for the Broadway stage.”
