"Hairily Hilarious... The Remarkable Ruth Fields rivals the very best of Charles Ludlam's travesties at the Ridiculous Theatre, and that's high praise indeed... Ruth Fields is, among other things, a bold and savage satire of films and musicals... As far as I'm concerned, she can take her place in the pantheon of show business right next to Lydia the Tattooed Lady." New York Post
"Absurd and adorable... the ultimate satirical show business myth." Backstage
"Gutbusting guffaws... This cabaret theatre piece comprises one of the funniest, most cleverly assembled nights one could hope for... a crowd pleasing hit." New York Native
