Reviews

“Jilted to Perfection ....made me weep. Once is nowhere near enough. It's creator, Debra Cook, is a major talent. Whatever it is, composing, playing, singing, acting, inspiring, this woman is a treasure.....she sings like an opera star, plays a virtuoso piano, and is very, very funny. Its performance was a joy, it’s message timeless, from a brilliant woman who's art is professional in every way. She is one of the most gifted female composers that I have encountered in a lifetime of studying music."

Jan Ewing

"Imagine a Wooster Group-style autobiographical monologue - think Spaulding Gray or Eric Bogosian - but presented as a stream of consciousness musical, and you’d have an idea of Debra Cook’s funny and poignant Jilted to Perfection......The show ends with a surprise finale that I won't spoil. But, it is only one of the many unexpected and wonderful twists in this marvelous…. musical."
