The first show to earn a “must-see” designation from our staff this year. What SHINE lacks in dramaturgy and originality it more than makes up for with rip-roaring hilarity. The cast is superb, the performances tight, the music is bumping and the hips grinding, albeit with a lot more nod-nod wink-wink than actual erotic heat. Any who appreciate the Rocky Horror brand of bawdy irreverence will welcome this brazen production with open arms, hearts, and legs. - NYCFringeGuide
“polished, extraordinarily well-performed and, often, great fun.”

“If the book is derivative, however, there is entertainment, and even wit in the musical numbers written in a variety of styles; the lyrics are clever, the choreography is fun, and some of the costumes are hilarious.”
TimeOut NY
“A naughty-licious good time… 42nd St. with tits.”
BroadwayWorld
“The plot may be as old as the oldest profession. But the song and dance numbers sparkle. And there are enough raunchy jokes to keep an entire convent blushing. Even in the permissive 21st century, this is not one for the kids. So leave them at home and have fun.”
