Only believe what you read? Well then…

Caged Dames Has a LOCK on Camp!

“Dames” has inspired moments of ridiculousness!

David Cerda- the reigning king of Chicago camp.

…as clever and melodic as anything in Urinetown

…offers plenty of spirited yuks for Cerda’s fans —

…Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune

#1 DON’T MISS Show

With his raunchy, John Waters–inspired camp, Cerda obviously adores delightfully crappy women-in-prison movies; his women are just as much in drag as his men.

sharply witty new musical, every character is vividly drawn and just as vividly performed,

When it’s good, it’s very, very good; when it’s bad, it’s better…

…Novid Parsi, TimeOut Chicago

See you in prison!
