"...The clever, literate, well-researched script, by Canadian writer and drag artist Darrin Hagen, includes plenty of lethal one-line zingers, and it’s preceded by a hilarious film montage of Davis and Crawford delivering savage slaps, slugs, shots and kicks to their co-stars."

"...This is a fun, fun, fun evening. Don’t expect Long Day’s Journey or Virginia Woolf, but one thing’s for certain: it may be just too, too much entertainment for one’s own good. So, be warned and for reading, a wholehearted … thaaank you!"

StageHappenings.com - Not Recommended

"...Director Odalys Nanin has staged it with some cleverness but cannot overcome the problem of drag artistes overplaying their characters, which includes the sole female, Therese McLaughlin, as Hedda Hopper, one of the two major gossip columnists of the era. Michael Taylor Gray does a better job of finding the quiet reality of his Joan Crawford, but C. Stephen Foster is so OTT that what might be amusing (check out the late Charles Pierce or Charles Ludlam, or the current Charles Busch for better spot-on impersonations) is seriously tired by the end of the two hours. Yelling and being flamboyant is simply not enough to keep us tuned in."

It’s breezily staged by director Odalys Nanin and is punctuated with projected film clips of the actual stars, highlighted – of course – by a riotous slapping montage."

Frontiers - Somewhat Recommended

"...If we’re going to retrace familiar Hollywood history, there should be a twist or new point of view, neither of which is provided in this entertaining but ultimately derivative drag duel."
