A wonderful way to learn the history of New Orleans, Nov 07, 2010
reviewer: Ruthgee from Connecticut
I saw the play yesterday and thought it like a Restoration Play. The acting and the settings were marvellous. It was a very fast paced show, though quite long. The costumes were colorful as were the settings. The main actor was utterly outstanding. Most of the cast were great.

It may not be everyones cup of tea but it was mine.

It was a pleasure to be there.

Good Luck to one and all on November 18th.

Finally a play that doesn't insult my intelligence, Nov 16, 2010
reviewer: Karine Mellenz from New York City
Forget the Broadway fast food shows. This is the good stuff. It's theater about something for once. Good text,great payoff,exquisite actors and production. Guare and Wolfe a great pair. Long? Well it depends. Words, action and color kept coming at us. I had so-so seats but didn't mind. Not for kids. But absolutely for adults willing to listen and look at a different version of history. Very entertaining.

Great production values actually need a play, Nov 03, 2010
reviewer: Pegomyhrt from New York
This was a full-dress second-week workshop, not a finished play. Bawdy sex and race laws as determinants of history need real bite, not unfocused, loud exclamation. There were lot of words, some laughs. Costumes, sets, pace, lighting, sound, and acting were terrific, but all of these could not compensate for incomplete ideas. A 75-minute first act of this left me dreading a second act of similar duration, and I left at intermission, along with much of the loge. An usher said the play was still being cut. All of this needs to take place before putting it out in public and charging money to see it. Very disappointing.
