Audience Member first thing I thought was Frankie loves the Grateful Dead! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute silliness with a veteran cast. If you don't go in expecting Shakespeare or weighty topics this is a pleasant diversion. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
