If Guys and Dolls is not your cup of tea tonight and you're wondering what to do, how about going to see [title of show] playing at the Parliament House? I saw it on opening night and it was worth the $16 I paid. Talented cast, funny script, and all the cheaply-priced boozy drinks you can slurp down. Its a bar after all.
“Rob A. Lott’s Jeff looks as happy as a kid in a candy store. Melissa Mason brings a sweet perkiness to Heidi. Robyn Kelly is a sarcastic ball of neuroses, worried about her singing ability, full of deadpan asides. Musical director John B. deHaas has a pleasingly laconic stage presence and strikes a good balance between the singers and his keyboard.”
-Matt Palm, Orlando Sentinel
“The Wanzie Presents production, co-directed by Kenny Howard and Michael Wanzie, mostly sails along blithely on the strengths of a charming cast and a script that aims for and pretty much conquers the nth degree of absurdity. Lott and Kelly bring plenty of pizzazz to their roles…in Lott’s case, in his essential sweetness and, in Kelly’s, in his terrific voice. [Robyn] Kelly’s wry facial expressions are priceless.”
-Elizabeth Maupin On Theater
“It’s the funniest self referential bullshit that I’ve ever heard. The songs are clever. The boys were in nearly every song, Kelly with his maniacal grin and Lott with his boyish charm…they seemed to fill the room with sweet sound.”
-Carl F. Gauze, Ink 19
“Longtime collaborators Wanzie and Howard have the pitch-perfect sensibility for this type of wink-nudge comedy... Keyboard masterfully manned here by deadpan musical director John DeHaas... A New York-caliber cast... Seeing Wanzie’s version of [title of show] makes me wish I’d seen it in New York, but I can’t imagine it being much more endearing than this production.”
-Seth Kubersky, Orlando Weekly
[title of show]“[title of show]” onstage at the Parliament House’s Footlight Theatre, makes the little story of this musical’s creation a laugh-filled ode to creativity, friendship and growing up... Co-directors Kenny Howard and Michael Wanzie have assembled a top-notch cast. As Hunter, Kevin Kelly bursts with energy, raising an eyebrow here, delivering a witty putdown there.
