"While the plot is very simple and the score mostly forgettable, it does have a spunky title character and some charming numbers. Hale Centre Theatre's production has two fantastic leads in Michala Montaño and Matthew Dodaro as Molly and her husband Johnny Brown, delightful direction, and fun choreography that result in a solid production of this rarely produced musical...When we first meet Molly wrestling with her brothers, Montaño is an entirely believable tomboy. As the plot moves forward and Molly grows older and finds her way in the world, Montaño also grows up in front of us, but she never loses the character's sass, spunk, spirit and determination, even when things don't go her way. There is also always a warmth beneath her outrageous and outsized personality, and Montaño's singing voice is bold, brassy, and simply lovely."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
