Pacing the show itself as if it were a Pac-Man

game is only amusing until it starts to warp

the narrative and stunt characters. Still, Wes

Needham, Lindsey Pearlman, and Omer

Abbas Salem manage to stay vivid throughout

TimeOut

​

The show’s best moments and performances are its calmest and quietest. Pearlman steals every single scene she’s in as the droll, sarcastic Patti, as does Omer Abbas Salem as a slimy WB exec named Manny.

​

And once the comedic timing of Lindsey Pearlman and Omer Abbas Salem find their way on stage, the last hour flies by leaving you wanting more.

​

Omar Abbas Salem's corporate bisexual coke sniffing flirt is hilarious. The full commitment and humor of this cast is infectious.
