Notes:
“A mega-hit…The recordings are side-splitting, the choreography is hilarious, the dancers are terrific…A new work so comic in its intensity that it would be a grave mistake to consider it only lighthearted…Taylor's dedication [to the comics] speaks exactly to the human need that this dance satisfies so brilliantly and shrewdly” – Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times
