“A stupendous production - one of the funniest shows, if not the funniest, I've had the pleasure of reviewing...This is a must-see production, folks. Run, walk, crawl if you have to. Just get to American Stage.”
- Kathy L. Greensberg, Tampa Tribune

“What a riot! Brian Webb Russell and Matthew McGee, pull this whole thing off so well that you wonder where the other three actors are while Brian and Matthew take their bows at the end… proper casting and proper quick-change costume work at its best…I will be seeing this again before it closes!”
- Dale Johnston, Tampabayarts.net

“[IRMA VEP is] a campy horror/mystery that audiences should love, and American Stage does it beautifully...Brian Webb Russell turned in an almost flawless performance and Matthew McGee turned in perhaps the finest comedic performance I’ve ever seen...In all, Todd Olson presents local audiences with something amazing...American Stage seems perfectly poised to make downtown St. Petersburg the primary theatre destination for the entire Tampa Bay area.”
- Cathy Salustri, The Gulfport Gabber

“A hilarious knockabout, cross-dressing, quick-change romp that never fails to get a laugh...Ludlam was the American Noel Coward, and his evocation of a Gothic ghost story is like a delightful, cockeyed homage to the master.”
- John Fleming, St. Petersburg Times

Charles Ludlam’s Obie-winning comedy is a hilarious Gothic spoof that satirizes everything from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rebecca” to Victorian melodrama and the movie “The Mummy's Curse”. It’s also a quick-change marathon in which two actors play a dozen roles: English newlyweds, a mysterious maid, a sympathetic werewolf, a vampire and an Egyptian princess brought back to life. But just who was (or is) Irma Vep?
