Douglas J. Cohen's 'The Gig' is clever, entertaining, ingenious and highly original. The score is wonderfully melodious and, several times, the brilliant lyrics made me laugh out loud!

Superb entertainment! This is what musical theater is all about. The American Dental Association should adopt "Beautiful" as its theme song; I can't remember when I've heard lyrics as clever and witty.
