"...hysterically funny"
"The best club act I've ever seen."
"...a delirious synthesis of Divine,
Karen Finley, and Montserrat Caballé and even those who think drag has had
its day swear that this big, beautiful creature is kind of demented
genius."
"...hilarious"
"Not since the late mega-cult-idol
Divine burst onto the scene has there been such a revolutionary and
deranged drag performer. A must see."
"Merman combines the physical
presence of a buxom Russ Myer starlet with a hint of perky Doris Day and
the brassiness of her spiritual mother, Ethel Merman."
"Hysterical...as much craftsmanship
as camp...It's a night of cabaret in the hands and boobs of one who is so
talented and sick."
"Varla is ready to claim her show-biz
birthright on the legitimate stage."
"...he can belt like Shirley Bassey
and hit notes in Kathleen Battle territory."
"...an amazing voice"
"...the singer blurs the line between
what is feminine and what is artifice...the mountainous peaks and troughs
of her vocal range defied expectations."
"...galvanizing...tumultuously
talented"
"...an evening of magical
entertainment that will make you proud to be in the presence of a genius
before she's so famous that you can't stand to hear about her anymore."
"...the delivery - whip-snap timing,
a voice that can really climb to operatic heights - is sheer brilliance"
"...comic genius"
"...a deliciously loony
sensibility...a voice that suggests a happy collision of Shirley Bassey
and Barbara Cook...imagine it in a lounge act of a much younger Ann-Margret
as conceived by John Waters and you'll have an idea of the irresistible
insanity in store for you"
"...a first-rate singer and
actor...awesome"
