Press

“But at Mad Cow, director Katrina Ploof dispatches her deliciously expressive cast through the pratfalls, mistaken identities and farcical scenery chewing with an expert hand.”

“FUNNY THING: MAD COW PLAYS TO THEIR STRENGTHS TO FIT A BOFFO BROADWAY HIT ONTO A TINY STAGE”

“…director Katrina Ploof…has directed the 1962 Tony Award-winning show (words and music by Stephen Sondheim) in a way that emphasizes the strengths of the show: sharp comic characterizations, intimate musical numbers, direct conversation with the audience and an overall friendly, ingratiating tone.”

“Carrying out Ploof’s game plan is a terrific cast of Mad Cow regulars. [Pseudolus] is ably abetted in his madcap adventures by Thomas Ouellette, who imbues the role of Hysterium with perfectly calibrated…well, hysteria.”Orlando Weekly
