Funny, Indulgent, Fluffy, Clever, Entertaining

See it if You have a free evening and want to hear yet 1 more episode of theatre as therapy. This time a fun Broadway dresser works out his boy crush.

Don't see it if If one person shows annoy you…this will make you scream. It’s well done and he’s very pleasant but you just have to ask…why.

Great writing, Funny and touching, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you like a well written one person show about an unsuccessful crush. Actor is both amusing and touching. Ending is very honest.

Don't see it if you don't like one person shows. Although actor is gay, the story is very sympathetic to all people who have unsuccessful crushes or loves.

Indulgent, Resonant, Slow, Thought-provoking, Disappointing

See it if Hipkins' mono-drama about his 'magnificent obsession' takes its time getting started but becomes both telling & poignant thru his confession

Don't see it if Unfortunately, the fairy-tale structure doesn't quite work & slows the narrative of Hipkins journey towards hard won awareness/acceptance

Got it produced, Objectifies denial, Inactive premise, Repititious, Flies quickly by

See it if one man show about denying your own wishes & desires is your heart's desire, you know Billy Hipkins, want 2 C a true vanity production

Don't see it if no interest in a gay man's personal journey, can't stand one-man shows, possess no empathy for another's journey, need singing & dancing Read more

Clever, Entertaining, Enchanting, Funny, Delightful

Flat, Insipid, Quirky, Fluffy, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy the sexual chase - dreaming and longing for someone you can't have. There are some good parts here but they do not make a whole.

Don't see it if you tire of one person experiences told with the names change. Lighting could be improved.

If you ever lived through the angst of an unrequited love, a romance impossible for one reason or another, then Billy Hipkins’ "Prince Charming, You’re Late" will hit the spot. Directed by Perry Dell’Aquila, the monologue flows smoothly and movingly.

"The early consultations of books are just a jumping-off point for Hipkins to reexamine his childhood struggles with his sexuality, and the conceit of the fairy tale outwears its welcome quickly. ... However, certain elements of nostalgia that Hipkins incorporates satirically pay off well."
