The reviews

"CRITIC'S CHOICE! The '80s theme works divinely... Clever, trendy, and funny without sacrificing too much of the source material or underestimating the audience's intelligence."
—East Bay Express (read review / critic's choice)

"Impact Theatre takes Midsummer on a wild ride through '80s music, the fads and even a movie reference or two to raucous new heights... The leads are captivating and even the supporting characters are a riot... Director Melissa Hillman has truly crafted a great show."
—Daily Cal (read review)

"4 out of 5 stars! ...the lovers, led by Marissa Keltie’s blissfully acute Helena, and the play-within-a-play are very funny and most of the snarky ad-libs are irresistible"
—SF Chronicle (read review)

"Starred Review! ...this mixture of iambic pentameter, irresistible pop tunes, neon wallpaper, and stonewashed denim is uncannily apt."
—SF Bay Guardian (read review)

"Great music, bad hair, and one heck of a lot of fun...this show is fast and furious"
—PlayShakespeare.com (read review)

"I've seen this play many times and I, personally, don't remember laughing as much as I did at this performance..."
—Vox Theatricum (read review)

"Provokes gales of laughter from the audience."
—Berkeley Daily Planet (read review)
