"Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's The Front Page, which premiered in 1928, is a fast-talking, sharp-edged satire of journalism, politics, and corruption in 1920s Chicago. Fountain Hills Theater's production of the play delivers much of the trademark humor and chaos with style, buoyed by several good performances, handsome period creative designs, and confident direction. While some of the performances could be stronger and it takes a little time for the story's manic energy to fully ignite, once it does, the show becomes an engaging and humorous ride through the frenzy-filled pressroom where some of the city's most ambitious and unethical reporters work." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
