Delightful, Hilarious, Refreshing, Fluffy, Quirky

See it if You're a Jackie Hoffmann or Lypsinka fan. Amazing what a bawdy comedienne & an evil drag queen can do to rejuvenate a silly old show.

Don't see it if You don't care for old fashioned musicals, fairytale or... well, fun.

Entertaining, Funny, Dated, Quirky, Fluffy

See it if you're a die-hard Lipsinka/Jackie Hoffman fan & enjoy campy updates of old warhorse musicals.

Don't see it if you saw Carol Burnett play Winifred. No way to match that performance. Also if you expect non-traditional color blind casting. Not here.
