...have come to expect from Pudding productions, the script is full of unique wit in the form of frequent puns, inside jokes, and characters who are at once hilariously stereotypical and deliciously different. More than any other feature of the writing, this wit carries the show and provides the theater company productions with their unique appeal...
Beyond the raw acting skills of the cast, the HPT production is also visually stunning.
