 “…Leading the pack for me was Karen Sours as Amadea. The show opened with her drunkenly stumbling across the stage tripping over her stiletto heels while wielding a bottle of Svedka…. She also kicks off her shoes. Hard to buy someone going barefoot in the streets of New York? Not with Sours’ expert portrayal. Also, a Svedka drunk is much different from a Stoli drunk, which is much different from a Grey Goose drunk. Sours captured the experience perfectly….”
