• In addition to the Associated Press feature on Gingy, Nora, and the play—which is being picked up in papers around the country—there’s now a RAVE Associated Press review of the show: “Boots, bras, handbags and dresses are just some of the apparel items enshrined in zesty, timeless stories and vignettes unfolded through women’s kindred recollections . . . By turns funny, poignant, and occasionally rueful . . . O’Donnell is often fiercely hilarious, particularly in ‘I Hate My Purse,’ about a woman’s ongoing battle with her handbag issues . . . [The women] dispense wisdom and humor in these endearing tales from multiple closets and several generations.”

• On Vanity Fair’s “Culture & Celebrity Blog,” Patricia Bosworth raves about the cast (“absolutely wonderful”), chats with Gingy, and gives two thumbs up to the show: “Wise and witty . . . It’s about clothes and accessories and the funny sad mocking memories they conjure up at various turning points in women’s lives.
