Rumors Reviews
NoHoArtsDistrict- Highly Recommended
"...I know you are supposed to lead up to an opinion, but Neil Simon's "RUMORS" at the Group Rep is hilariously funny, has an amazing cast, and an artful, smart and fast paced script by Neil Simon. Plus, Doug Engalla's directing has completely transported us into this farcical play."
Stage Raw- Highly Recommended
"...Though this may have been Simon's first attempt at writing a farce, he already had the chops to pull it off, and the laughs come fast and furious. Director Doug Engalla has assembled a top-notch cast of comic actors, including Kent Butler as Lenny Ganz, whose car is almost totaled by the red sports car. Cheryl Crosland scores comic points as his disenchanted, acid-tongued wife."
Los Angeles Post-Examiner- Highly Recommended
"...The Group Rep at the Lonny Chapman Theatre in North Hollywood has produced over 300 plays including 70 world premieres and is approaching a half century of theatrical artistry. Its latest offering Rumorsby Neil Simon is yet another example of theatrical excellence. Of Neil Simon USA Todaywrote: "Neil Simon makes people laugh a lot!" True. But without superb acting all shows in general and Rumorsin particular could easily fall into disaster. Happily for The Group Rep they have once again succeeded in assembling an astonishingly brilliant cast for its presentation of Rumors."
Broadway World- Recommended
"...I found RUMORS to be a fun time even though I didn't necessarily enjoy most of the script. I thought Act 1 was performed better than Act 2, but that might be because by Act 2 I was starting to find Simon's writing a little kitschy and unbearable. Despite all of that, I would recommend RUMORS to my friends and family."
