"The Athens University basketball team hasn’t won a game in 30 years. But when spunky transfer student Lysistrata Jones dares the squad’s fed-up girlfriends to stop “giving it up” to their boyfriends until they win a game, their legendary losing streak could be coming to an end. In this boisterous pop musical comedy, Lyssie J. and her girl-power posse give Aristophanes’ classic comedy a sexy, modern twist and take student activism to a whole new level." - from www.lysistratajones.com

"Lysistrata may at first seem deeply superficial.
But it turns out there’s tasty substance beneath the froth,
just enough to keep you hooked.
The same may be said of the endearingly escapist show in which she appears."
- Ben Brantley, New York Times
"It's like an R rated High School Musical with a point and a conscience!"
