Reviews:
“(Fancy) is a wildly entertaining…a character who’s part Jackie Beat and part Divine – a chanteuse and formerly white-trash waif who found prostitution as the key to her queendom. She now gives sex advice to people who text in questions during the show. In a wig recalling Tammy Faye Bakker, Fancy Jean Baker is a charismatic…woman with a male libido and female compassion, she’s Dear Abby on Viagra, with some Red Bull thrown in for an energy boost.” – Steven Leigh Morris – StageRaw.com

““Fancy!” has got a spirited and, yes, feminist core that isn’t afraid to stick it to the South’s religious right. With strength, ease and abundant grace, Ms. Farah has created a memorable character anyone would be happy to take home to their trailer park”. Jennie Webb – Bitter Lemons
