  • "I heard many people say that they enjoyed the quick wit, humorous lines and modern references to cell phones, twitter, facebook, etc. I have heard cast and audience members quoting some of the lines. We also financially successful because the royalty price is so reasonable and the costume and set requirements are minimal."
