Show-Score Member Reviews (3)

Slow, Thought-provoking, Absorbing

See it if You want to see an interesting format. A performance about women who were mistresses to presidents.

Don't see it if You have no interest in the subject.

Ambitious, Slow, Quirky, Entertaining, Intelligent

See it if you'd like a quick and interesting look at 10 mistresses, real and alleged relationships with 9 Presidents, as portrayed by 6 actors.

Don't see it if you expect to hear it all - some voices are soft at times. It drags a little, mostly caused by the 10 unnecessary, minor set changes.

Peculiar staging, Uneven, Episodic, Disappointing, Great idea

See it if you enjoy history presented from an intimate perspective. Some of the actresses are fabulous. The more you know about the women the better.

Don't see it if you expect a play. This is a series of unrelated monologs during which young partially clothed women wander inexplicably around the stage
