Emmy-winner Randy Rogel ("Animaniacs") serves up a delightfully varied score of cool jazz, Petula Clark-like knockouts, Neil Sedaka bubble-gum pop, and more. Directed by La Mirada's own Producing Artistic Director, BT McNicholl (original Broadway creative team member of Spamalot, Billy Elliot, and Cabaret).

"...WALTER PAISLEY (what I'll be calling the show going forward for brevity's sake) features book, music, and lyrics by Randy Rogel, whose gag-worthy resume includes Emmy Award-winning work at the Warner Bros. Animation studio with shows like Animaniacs, Batman, and Pinky and the Brain. That same style of biting, sardonic wit from those series is bursting at the seams in this stage musical, and it made for such an amusing watch, especially for those who don't easily take offense at dark, absurdist gallows humor."

"...What happens when you take Little Shop of Horrors and mix it with The Pink Panther cartoons, and throw in a little dash of Urinetown? You get this fantastic dark musical comedy Did You See What Walter Paisley Did Today? Based on Roger Corman’s 1959 horror-tinged beatnik satire A Bucket of Blood, the book, music and lyrics are by Randy Rogel of Animaniacs. Developed and directed by BT McNicholl, the show does not feel as long as the title. If anything, the crisp, quick pacingwill keep you on edge and in stitches."

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...There is not one actor who hits the stage and gives a mediocre performance, while the pacing remains brisk. Connor Gallagher’s choreography is also energizing and keeps up with the jazzy, bright numbers, complemented by John Iacovelli’s fine set design and David Lander’s lighting, all serving the tone for each scene."

"...Booth carries the show on his slender shoulders, going from meek to haughty as Walter’s acclaim and fame grow as does his ego. He is given strong support by Kingsley Leggs as café owner and artist manger Leonard. Kathy Fitzgerald delivers a master class in scene stealing as Walter’s older, curvaceous and extremely horny landlady."
