"You know things are capably in hand when a Greek chorus discourse at the opening is going on and on and you don't want it to stop. SEX, WAR & WASHINGTON: LYSISTRATA NOW is a daring, flamboyant comical musical that marches up to us, takes a gulp and wins us over through pure, brash bravado... The set up is delicious... Sustained laughter on opening night... Exaggerating the reality of contemporary contemptible politics is what gives the satire of SEX, WAR its bite... An evening that's bound to be memorable for a good long while." Bill Rodriguez, The Phoenix, Providence
"The ancient Greeks would be rolling over in their graves if they could see LYSISTRATA NOW, the new musical at Alias Stage. Fortunately, they'd be rolling with laughter and probably admiration, too. Because LYSISTRATA NOW, written by Rachael Migler with a raucous rock score by Steve Dubois, is a raunchy and often hilarious update of Aristophanes' 411 B.C. play. This piece is often wonderful, a show hard with promise... Migler displays a grand talent for pungent lyrics. In one of the more repeatable lyrics, the women tell the men: "Tangle with us if you dare for woman is our nom de guerre." That is, I submit, as good as anything that's being written for the American musical stage today." William K. Gale, Providence Journal-Bulletin
"LITTLE PINKIE is tautly written, has audacious and daring characters, sharp repartee and a story line of triumph over evil with some zingers thrown in." Dulcie Leimbach, New York Times
