The New York Times

“In casual overalls, Kingsman is wry and off-handed even when buffoonish. Instead of pushing the desperation of her character, she plays it flatly...Kingsman’s instincts are affectionate and writerly. She isn’t out for blood so much as a witty delight.”

“ ‘One Woman Show’ is much more than a spoof — it's a savvy, perfectly executed show that leaves us wondering what an alternative to the current playbook for women's success looks like. I'd say Kingsman's show is a great start, but here's hoping her act doesn't become a trope in itself, but rather inspires people to take a chance on a diverse range of women's stories.”

“ ‘One Woman Show’ will most appeal to theater regulars who have been around long enough to see a few of these dreadful solo plays. But the phenomena that Kingsman sends up will be familiar to anyone who lives on Earth — except maybe the protagonist of Wildfowl. I’m pretty sure she’s an extraterrestrial posing undercover as a messy British millennial. ”

“Are you tired of earnest solo shows? The sort of piece in which a terribly serious actor relates his/her/their downward slide, inevitably caused by some terrible trauma that, ultimately, must be faced, cueing plenty of tears and a hopeful, uplifting finale? Aren't you just a little bit fed up with such gratuitous emotional gymnastics? Liz Kingsman certainly is, so much so that she practically takes a crowbar to the entire genre in her ingenious and often hilarious entertainment. You may never again be able to experience such evenings without getting giggle fits.”

New York Stage Review

“ ‘One Woman Show’ is entirely Kingsman’s own, a razor-sharp, 100-proof satire that thumbs its nose at the establishment, skewering the media’s perceptions of women”

“Relaxed and comfortable in front of an audience, she self-deprecatingly charms the audience into submission within minutes; and, in a gentle, low-key fashion, easily makes her case for why she created this show.”

“ ‘One Woman Show’ tries very hard, too hard, to be obscure and at the same time give us a chance to be in on the joke that fails to ever get off the ground.”

“Kingsman’s is not a standup routine disguised as a play—no hand-held mic here—but more a confessional monologue, satirizing the women of her generation, packed with nonstop jokes and sight gags on familiar subjects.”
