Joy is a wonderful review of the common American nuclear family
"Joy offers a wonderful exploration of the dynamics within a nuclear family, particularly when ambition and entrepreneurship intertwine. It vividly portrays the challenges and triumphs that arise when the leader/mother of a family pursues a bold idea while relying solely on their family for support. Beyond its humor and heart, the show captures the essence of a distinctly American narrative, demonstrating how determination, vision, and the strength of close relationships can transform a dream into reality."

Betsy Wolfe delivered a fabulous performance vocally &emotionally
"The true story was very well told by the excellent cast who spoke, sang and danced with great professionalism. There were many set and costume changes as Joy’s amazing story was told. Betsy Wolfe dominated the show in every way and got several extended ovations. I saw it 3 times in 8 weeks. Now on to a big Broadway theater!"

An uplifting story for the whole family!
"A wonderful story with so many relatable elements: struggle to overcome, believing in yourself, against the odds, dreams, QVC(!), etc! A great time at the theatre. That entire cast was fantastic especially Betsy Wolfe (saw her twice in &Juliet!)! The performances were believable, entertaining and pure. The songs and dance routines were fabulous. This show is what going to the theatre is all about..having a great time!"

A moving tribute to Creatives, Inventors & Entrepreneurs!
"Took my daughter, who is launching her own foot ware & handbag company. We laughed so hard at this script and the well casted characters: Joy, her family & the cowboys. And yes, we also cried — some happy years and some just because I understand how hard it is to raise children and be a great mother.
I truly can’t think of anything I would change in the entire show. It’s a ten out of ten. Has everything you want: range of emotions, real world issues, a heroin, villains, and lots of love."
