Reviews

DC Theatre Scene gave the show four stars. Reviewer Caitlin DeMerlis calls the play "witty, quirky, entertaining." Demerlis praises all four actors, and writes, "With a touch of Miley Cyrus and a dash of Britney Spears, Charlene V. Smith as pop star Jessie Morgan is poppin’ and lockin’ it ... Smith adds a terrifyingly realistic embodiment of the vapid stars that currently grace the covers of entertainment rags."

Bob Anthony says "Charlene V. Smith plays a delightful 'air head' Jessie Morgan" in his review at Allartsreview4u.com.
