Off-Off-Broadway Review: "Jennifer Allen, a fabulous Miss Adelaide in the recent Broadway Guys & Dolls, did what she could with the underwritten role of Lily. Her natural glow, strong comic presence, and wonderful voice almost disguised that she was given nothing to do except bear the brunt of the show’s lamest jokes and least-memorable music. Which she did with grace, humor, and professionalism of a true star."
Martin Denton for NYTheatre.com: "Jennifer Allen putting over a song like 'I’m the First Girl in the Second Row' makes us appreciate the dying art of the deadpan show-stopper."
Hi! Drama: "Terrific comic acting by Jennifer Allan as the beer heiress."
