"...With a sensational cast, led by Šime Košta in a take no prisoners performance as Frank-N-Furter, and direction that brings a fresh, fun take on this beloved show, the Phoenix Theatre Company's production is an absolute knockout....Director Robert Kolby Harper finds a way to pay homage to the classic film ...with original touches throughout that add pops of humor to the dialogue, the characters, and the situations....There isn't a weak link in the cast. Šime Košta is delivering a star-making performance as Frank-N-Furter that is fearless, sexually charged, and an absolute riot...will most likely seduce every audience member just like Frank seduces just about every character in the show....With a sensational cast, excellent direction, and impressive creative elements, I can't imagine another production living up to the high standards that Phoenix Theatre Company's production has delivered."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"... a delightfully wacky Robert Kolby Harper production.  The musical explodes all over the tiny Hormel Theatre with an energized cast of remarkably comic players who stimulated a capacity opening night crowd with expected slams at the silly plot to revel with the performers as everyone enjoys each minute of the wild merriment....An outlandish set depicting Frank ‘N’ Furter’s weird estate, over-the-top glitzy costumes, and garishly colored lighting complete the riotous production.... a more delightfully amusing foray into madcap fun couldn’t be found.
