The Spitfire Grill Reviews
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...A young woman fresh out of prison seeks a second chance at life in James Valcq and Fred Alley?s tuneful, inspiring crowd-pleaser The Spitfire Grill, Actors Co-op?s first musical in nearly seven years and one that is well worth the wait."
Stage Raw- Recommended
"...The Spitfire Grill, which reportedly has been performed more than 250 times around the world, premiered at the George Street Playhouse in New Jersey in 2000 and off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons the following year. Directed by Bonnie Hellman, the musical is currently receiving a first-rate rendering at the Actors Co-op. The key elements of this production - music and book by James Valcq, lyrics and book by the late Fred Alley, direction by Bonnie Hellman, and performances by a splendid cast - come together smoothly to create an inspirational, heartfelt piece of theater."
Larchmont Buzz- Highly Recommended
"...In their first musical in many years, Actors Co-Op Theatre is presenting The Spitfire Grill. Based on the movie by Lee David Zlotoff (which starred Ellen Burstyn), this show highlights the bonds of friendship, redemption, and optimism."
