“Nancy Hays is deliciously sexy Hedy LaRue. Nancy plays Hedy as if the role were written expressly for her”
​Colin Douglass,
​Chicago Theater Review

"As for Hays, her performance was especially stellar when it came to the play's more serious and dramatic scenes. In fact, the woman seated next to me began to sob uncontrollably during the parts in which Hays was lamenting her daughter’s circumstances." 
Robert Harling,
River Cities Reader Review
