About the Show

The Baylor Lariat Review
The act opens with Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” on an eerie, blue and back lit stage. That lighting helped to nail the theme’s central conflict home, giving that clear red vs. blue at the outset. The vocals were phenomenal, with angelic harmonies during the singing battle between Marie Antoinette and her subject. As for Antoinette herself? Her solo was chilling — she nailed each and every riff. But some of the costumes were schoolgirlish, leaving me to wonder if they were meant to look that way or not, and the cake looked boxy — nothing to start a revolution over. (Source)
