  Big Pants and Botox Reviews
Big Pants and Botox
Plymouth Playhouse

Star Tribune- Somewhat Recommended

"...Playwright Louise Roche has created a character that could more credibly have come of age in the 1950s than the 1980s, a cowed victim whose fondest wish is that her deadbeat husband will return at least long enough to walk her daughter down the aisle. The juxtaposition of this sorry situation with jokes about Botox parties and passing gas in yoga class is disconcerting, to say the least."

Lisa Brock



Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Not Recommended

"...Clearly, I'm not the target demographic for "Big Pants and Botox," but it's frankly difficult to imagine women of a certain age looking to see themselves on stage will find a whole lot to like here. Barbara's sense of empowerment is continually undercut, The moral victories are so small as to be nearly indiscernible and her final, chin-up monologue carries a whiff of futility."
