MOXIE REVIEWS!

WASHINGTON POST:

​

"With its stream of motley diversions, Moxie has the piquant flavor and pacing that surely contributed to vaudeville's appeal. At the same time, this show maintains a sly modern perspective, drawing attention to the old-fashioned nature of many of its acts."                                                                                    -  The Washington Post                                                      FULL REVIEW HERE
