Review - Austin Chronicle, Robert Faires

“The UT Department of Theatre and Dance is the first artistic entity anywhere to take a crack at Schenkkan’s new/old comedy and has lavished on it a sumptuous look that recalls the Tinseltown spectacle of bygone days in all its glitzy, showy style. This is nowhere more true than in Esther Marquis’ costumes, which number in the dozens upon dozens but always show a smart sense of period fashion and frequently a witty playfulness, as with “Whiplash” McCord’s candy-colored duds or the mermaid drag in which the mob goons end up attired.”
