“Let’s make one thing clear: this show was funny. Knee-slapping, stomach-hurting-from-laughter, undeniably funny.”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“One of the best touches in the show is how we get to see [Gaelan] Beatty’s character of Bernard unravel. Watching him deal with desperation at each turn … is a treat — and seeing his slickly coiffed hair become totally dishevelled was an added bonus.” Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“[Emma Slipp] really stole the show… it takes a great performer to propel good writing into the realm of great theatre.” Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Anita Smith’s turn as a high-energy New Yorker was also brilliantly handled, with a layer of domineering power…” Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“The whole production was visually stunning, as well.”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Go in expecting to laugh a lot, and let Boeing Boeing take you away.”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix
