Perhaps, despite its lack of structure, the film will inspire a new generation to investigate this funny lady who could sing the lights out.

Culture Mix

It has a lot of great archival footage that's very well-edited with the interviews ... [Kaye] Ballard has a very engaging way to her storytelling ... Because [it doesn't] show Ballard's life off-stage, the film looks like a feature-length 'sizzle reel.'

Newport This Week (RI)

Kaye Ballard - The Show Goes On! is an irresistible portrait of a gritty show biz survivor, but also a fitting tribute to show business itself.
