“ As the song goes, "Let me entertain you. Let me make you smile." Murder at the Orient Burlesque does both. From its vividly drawn cast of burlesque archetypes through its multiple murder suspects, this play delivers the laughs right up to the final moment. ”

“ What a gloriously fractured fairy tale! Gretel and Hansel scouts are but one of the clever conceits running through this most entertaining script. It is filled with laugh-out-loud moments and still makes real points about gender stereotypes and body image. There are four delicious (see what I did there) characters who are a delight to encounter. Any audience for this play will live happily ever after. ”

“ What a hoot! The animals guiding Nora and Patrick are full of pragmatic, if somewhat lewd, advice. These are not your typical saccharine fairy tale woodland creatures which is what makes this play so riotously funny. A treat for actors, designers, and audiences alike. ”

“ Meeting the parents is a right of passage in most relationships. Ken finds himself in an particularly discomfiting position regarding his beloved's father. The build to the first reveal is a comedic masterpiece. Ken's uncomfortable interview with the father forces him to make a major choice. The final image left me to wonder if the choice was enough. This play masterfully blends comedy and suspense and held me riveted throughout. ”
