Inquirer Staff Philadelphia Inquirer Naturally, Will Rogers is about the "whole show" and deservedly so. May 20, 2021 Full Review Ben Robinson Miami Herald Will Rogers manages to extract a lot of heartaches from his audiences with his deftly humorous twisting of many ridiculous situations. May 20, 2021 Full Review Gazette Staff Montreal Gazette Rogers has a characterization which fits him like a glove. May 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member will rogers sound debut Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member As predictable and boring as a movie, about a family poor who strikes it rich and moves to Paris, can be. It's not funny or dramatic really, but the actors aren't too bad. Overall I didn't like it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute Will Rogers comedy that predictably makes Paris society look like much less fun than hanging out with the country bumpkins in Claremore, Oklahoma. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
