“Peter Mills and Cara Reichel’s highly entertaining morality comedy transports J.M. Synge’s 1907 Playboy of the Western World to Depression-era hillbilly country, with an unlikely blend of smart, dark comedy and foot-stomping country music.” — The New York Times
“Joyous, tuneful, and a barrel of fun. The accents may be hillbilly but don’t be fooled; this is cleverly crafted, sophisticated fare… The songs are delivered by a truly talented cast with not one weak link… This small, delicious musical deserves a longer life. Catch the mirth and music while you can.” — Back Stage
“Unique, irresistible… Composer Peter Mills has created an enigmatic, evocative score that tells the story better than any dialogue could… there’s something immediately engaging about the shivering guitar chords and casual camaraderie of this music.” — CurtainUp.com
“A smart combination of bluegrass and musical theatre… Mills’ skill with musical storytelling makes these bluegrass songs particularly engaging and exciting… a fun and utterly enjoyable study of the difference between gallous stories and dirty deeds, and the people who walk the line that seperates the two.” — BroadwayWorld.com
