“Imagine if famed operettists Gilbert and Sullivan wrote ‘The Exorcist’…it would be filled with romance, charming rhymes, peppy melodies, and devilishly funny jokes. Thankfully Eli Pasic has done just that and created the best operetta no one asked for.”
—Robyn Grant-Moran, Intermission Magazine
“His lyrics are clever and sometimes surprising, and yes, they incorporate all the profanity and bodily fluids of the original, set to the rousing choruses full of party guests and servants that are the hallmarks of the musical form. It’s a delightfully strange mashup…and entirely enjoyable, a…smooth operetta.”
— Ilana Lucas, Broadway World
