"A delightfully fun adventure awaits you with a cast that entertains from curtain rise to its truly fabulous grand finale. The premise is risible and works with its magnificent charm and talent that hits every note through synergy and lighthearted tomfoolery. Fellow zany passengers, a hilarious story-line, strong musical flair and laughs that keep coming make for a sure you don't want to pass you by."

“''Fabulous!' piles such silliness upon silliness that it’s almost impossible not to sit there for more than two hours with a stupid grin. Some of the songs aren’t great. Some of the voices are off key, maybe deliberately. But Rick Hamilton has directed with a sublime sense of goofy innocence that fits this second-floor Times Square theater just perfectly."

"'Fabulous!' is a big, corny, messy, shabby, silly queen of a show, and it’s often a lot of fun...It is unabashedly nostalgic for a bygone time when Broadway musicals asked you only to check your cares and your brain at the door...Best not to think about the twists that ensue in the overlong plot, and just give yourself up to the familiar zip of Michael Rheault’s melodies, the daffy spirit of musical comedy and the kick of watching twinky sailors girly-man the decks."

"'Fabulous!' is a silly, over-the-top trifle...Yet it's so zany, the cast so sincere and the four dancers toe-tapping their hearts out, 'Fabulous!' registers a kooky charm all its own. There are some sweet songs and the bar even offers some Fabulous! cocktails."

"Madcap, yes, but witty? Not so much...'Fabulous!' is aimed as a salute to the Golden Age of Broadway but feels more like slapdash, overworked silliness. Not a total shipwreck, thanks to some catchy, if derivative, tunes...The fun-loving cast makes Fabulous! The Queen of New Musical Comedies, not fabulous but, in its own way, fun."
