• “The glorious Dana Ivey is one of the marvels of New York theater. A veteran character actor with five Tony nominations, the pleasure she provides playing Mary feels as sweet as new cream. The hilarious Marylouise Burke is adorably daffy. Directed with plenty of fizz by Walter Bobbie.”

  — Charles Isherwood, New York Times

• “The Golden Girls with zingers! Devilish acting in a helluva play. This quartet is positively heavenly.”

  — Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post

• “FOUR STARS. Finding a funnier foursome on another stage might be a mission impossible. It made me laugh my head off.”

  — Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News
