5 Stars from the Maryland Theatre Guide
“This musical was a moving and eye opening experience while also being incredibly entertaining. The ladies received a standing ovation, which they deserved. This is a show you do not want to miss on your visit to the Capital Fringe Festival.”
Two Hours Traffic Theatre Blog
“This is the sort of production that makes me want to discuss it, to hammer out all the bits that were brilliant and all the bits that I have a beef with….It’s a show that provokes discussion, and that’s my favorite kind of theatre.”
The Many Women of Troy at the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2011
LA Weekly says: “Go!”
An “ambitious musical focusing on women’s experience of war and violence. It begins with a moving refrain sung by five women searching for their dead or disappeared menfolk, then leapfrogs through myth and history to dramatize tragedies wrought by religion, totalitarianism (Argentina under Pinochet) and madness (the Columbine massacre), among others. Recurring friction between four nurturing characters and one narcissist hones the drama and keeps didacticism at bay.”

“Conceptually Impressive” – LA Theatre Review
Eric Palmer, LA Entertainment Lawyer
“Tremendous talent and memorable music drive home a compelling message! A strong antidote to escapist musicals and a work that rewards an invested audience member. Outstanding individual performances make for a strong ensemble as well.”
