"I saw this musical in London, where it was getting lukewarm reviews. Really, one cannot trust critics to have any taste. An audience of bright, good-looking people was immediately won over by the sparkling tunes and brilliantly unpredictable lyrics. It was a hoot. Great songs, great lines (and superbly performed over my side of the pond). The CD's no match for seeing the show, but if you HAVE seen the show, how can you live without it? And if you haven't seen the show, buy this and pretend you did. It's fab."

""No Way To Treat A Lady," Douglas Cohen's brilliant and engaging musical, thrills and chills simultaneously. With a series of murders popping up in the plot, there is plenty of tension, even when you listen to it on a CD. But there is also romance, marvelous wit, soaring songs, and literate, biting, and -- yes, sweet -- lyrics. I've listened to the show innumerable times, and it continues to give me enormous pleasure. To me, it's worth at least five stars!"

"A great neo-Sondheim musical, witty and imaginative. Whatever happened to Douglas J. Cohen? I hope he's still writing!BUY THIS! (If you can find a copy.)"
Wow!

"I purchased this after listening to the sample snippet of "So Far, So Good." The 30 seconds kept running through my head until I had to buy it. Thank goodness I did! Douglas Cohen has written a witty, snappy musical that should be ranked up there with the top shows of today. Do yourself a favor & buy it immediately."
Dynamic.

"I initially bought this CD because I know Alix Korey (slightly, but I've met her twice). I missed the show off-Broadway and wanted to see what it was about. I was instantly hooked and eventually got my local theater to do a production of the show so that I could play Kit. It was one of my favorite performances - the show is warped and scary and just plain fun.The cast is inspired here. Mo and Kit are acted and sung with great talent and verve, Sarah is sung beautifully and sweetly, and the show is entertaining and stylish. Best of all is Alix Korey as Flora - she steals the show and really makes a caricature (overbearing Jewish mama) into a real person.Anyone who likes cast albums will want to add this to their collection. Just don't be surprised if it brings out the serial killer in you and makes you want to act in the show - it's that much fun! Highly recommended."
