Beck Center’s ‘Ruthless!’ goes for broke, which
pays dividends.

Ruthless! will delight many. It is a
fun farce. This production gets it
almost right. With a little more
letting loose and playing for laughs, it could have been great.
Howard Gollop
(The cast is) uniformly spectacular. ... As for the Beck production itself, the direction and stage design could be a bit more strident, arch and over-the-top to match the material. But it’s still a thrill to see this rarely done 24-year-old intimate show (with lots of new witty topical references) in near-perfect condition.
Mark Horning
If your brand of entertainment runs to outrageous
musical spoofs then this is a must see show for you. The dialog is rapid fire, the jokes broad and
frequent and enough surprises to keep you guessing. This would be a great guy or gal’s night
out. Come fill the seats.

Christine Howey
This over-the-top exercise, featuring book and lyrics by Joel Paley and music by Marvin Laird, happily slaps together references from iconic shows ranging from Mame to All About Eve, and never stops for a moment to catch its breath.
