Reviews

“Two pieces of advice for those who are on the fence about Best Little… this summer: See it anyway, and don’t worry. It’s fun, it’s fair, it’s rollicking - and it’s even poignant.” -- Mark Tedeschi, The Cortland Ticket

“As staged by CRT, Whorehouse is a big-hearted country-fried wonder. // CRT’s winning mounting almost makes us forget the less wholesome aspects of the show. Now that’s a real trick..” - Len Fonte, The Syracuse New Times

“For sheer brilliance, I have to mention the male and female dancers of the chorus, who add immeasurably to the show’s enjoyment as they carry out Daniel B. Hess’s choreography with verve and precision.” - Neil Novelli, The Syracuse Post Standard.

“Thompson’s direction is brisk, happily with as much emphasis on the story as on the singing, dancing and comedy.” - Joan Vadeboncoeur, The Syracuse Post Standard
