Julie's Modern Love essay appears in the New York Times

Funnily-accented redhead Arianna Huffington hosts some of Julie's most bewitching OpEd's on her liberal website, including an admonition to the meth addict currently driving around LA listening to show tunes, a heads-up to the single girls who think Nader's running mate is the dreamiest, and a warning to America that Christopher Hitchens has lost his mind.

Julie's Salon.com article about "Skinny Bitch" became a bit of a meme; click here for a reference to the piece on Chowhound in the context of America's first Vegan Strip Club (shudder) and here for a thoughtful mention on the New York Times Health Blog, Well.

Loathesome New Yorkers," but in a plug for the Obsessed show.

Q and A with The Apiary

Q and A with The Gothamist

People have written about our show. It's true!
Crib notes to the handful of mentions we've gotten so far:
Sweet mention on the Broadway.com blog about our show

Backstage
"Given the razor-sharp comic partnership of Galloway and Klausner, it comes as no surprise that Free to Be Friends ran for seven months at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. The duo combines intellectual satire with outrageous potty humor and delivers it with campy '70s accuracy that is dead-on....Sadly, with a running time of only 45 minutes, Free to Be Friends lasts just about as long as the Equal Rights Amendment. One wishes the fun would go on a little bit longer."

While this writer clearly knows has his ducks in a row, we feel compelled to add that there is zero potty humor in the show. Not a single character even thinks about going to the bathroom while on stage.

Talkin' Broadway
We are relieved to finally be pegged as "delightfully twisted," first of all. He could have said "deliciously demented," but he's an astute enough gentleman to be able to know the difference.

NYTheatre.com
Funniest review of the year, written by Jean Teasdale with a press pass. This woman did not like our show. It was too mean for her.

"The question is, why make fun of something that made tons of kids happy? There's a way to lovingly satirize, and then there's cruel parody. I came to see this not knowing what to expect, and as, like so many of my generation, a fan of the original. I'd hate to see anyone tear down what was a magical memory for so many of us by adding pointless owl-hating and-old-people-bashing."

The New York Blade
This is really more of a summary than a review, but flattering, even if they mistake the show for being twice as long than it really is. The New York Blade, by the way, is a Gay freebie. As in, The Gay Blade? Get it?
"part feel-good satire, part absurdist political critique." Okay.

 

The Apiary
We didn't know anybody was taking photos. Still, a really sweet mention! It was fun to do this show--we got to hang out in our wigs with Rufus Wainright backstage. Who was gayer? It is a riddle.

"Sue Galloway and Julie Klausner are hilarious. This is a really fun show with surprisingly exceptional set design. It has a 'Strangers With Candy' sort of penchant for twisted one-liners and for its dark humour wrapped in a cheery outer layer." Our humor is so dark, they had to use the British spelling!

 

Charleston City Paper
Again, very flattering, and one of those anecdote-based pieces, with bookended references and plenty of joke giveaways. A couple of corrections: Sue's band is Stickerbook, not Scrapbook, and there's no way Julie ever said "Ultimately, Free to be Friends is a really great showcase for all of our abilities."

"The UCB Theatre was packed this evening, as it has been for most of the show's run, a testament to Klausner and Galloway's kinetic connection and sharp wit. And possibly the fact that the ladies strip down to some sexy '70s workout gear at one point in the show." Possibly. Possibly.
