“A delectable soufflé of a solo show…The tightly closed doors of the Beverly Hills aerie in which Mengers held court are being thrown open, and for the price of a ticket we all get to feel a little twinkly for a night. It’s a heady sensation, thanks to the buoyant, witty writing of Mr. Logan…” —The New York Times.
“As famously abrasive as she could be, it’s impossible to believe the late Mengers wouldn’t have puckered up for John Logan’s big wet kiss, I’LL EAT YOU LAST…The single-character piece is exactly what it advertises—80 irresistible minutes of primo tinseltown dish from a certified master chef.” —The Hollywood Reporter.
