"Galvanizing and energizing...very funny...envelope-pushing!
"We need more Noah Diamonds and Amanda Sisks to take aim at all the bastions
of power in this country...
"The most politically motivated show I've seen in NYC in a long time. Hardly
anything could be more American than that."

"Author/performers Noah Diamond and Amanda Sisk created a theatrical romp
with song parodies, dance routines, much camping and vamping...The cast has a
lot of fun with it while putting their every effort and heart into the songs...
"Brian Louis Hoffman's absurd George W. Bush heightens this satire to farce level.
He's a dead ringer in movement and intensity of Georgie...If I ever needed a Jesus
who could double as a dozen other characters I'd call on Corey Moosa."
