Philadelphia Weekly names [title of show] one of the Top 10 Productions of the year!
“There was likewise no shortage of either charm or imagination in Mauckingbird Theatre Company’s joyous staging of the musical [title of show]. A terrific feel-good musical from Philly’s best gay theater company, the production was driven by a four-member ensemble led by Ben Dibble and Michael Phillip O’Brien, who complimented each other beautifully as the two best friends with dreams of mounting a Broadway musical. |
