"depicts strong fictional women supporting a fictional male president who are just as capable, if not more qualified, of doing his job. Fillinger's comedy is a farcical endeavor that humorously inserts comic hijinks, some quite rude, into the absurdities of the White House. Stray Cat Theatre's production features a group of talented women on stage as well as many behind the scenes, but with swift pacing that sometimes is too fast for the comedic punches to land, and with little depth to the script, it amounts to only a mildly amusing farce with a few laugh out loud moments." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)

"the spot-on Stray Cat Theatre production.  Katie McFadzen’s briskly paced and hysterically funny production proves the show’s title artfully Beyond McFadzen’s hilariously madcap but insightful staging of Selina Fillinger’s blithely entertaining script are seven comically gifted performers who bring the play to biting but inane hilarity."   -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)

"Fillinger’s farce and the performances of these fine artists would be better honored by trusting the playwright’s clever lines with less exaggeration and bombast. The witty brilliance and pointed impact of the playwright’s lines are lost in the chaos. The result is that the uplifting message of I am Woman gets lost in what registers as organized chaos and an almost stereotypical degrading of its female characters."  - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
