"One of the most uniquely thrilling musical experiences to be found in the theatre right now is at the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura."
"...it's Cate Caplin and the dancers and Manchester who are to be praised for their vision and sensational execution of this dynamite little show and to Karyl Lynn Burns for her brilliant germinating concept. This is a different and truly exciting evening in the theatre, perfect holiday fare!"
