 Critic Quotes "The hottest ticket in town ... taking the cabaret world by storm ... voices sweet as
birdsong."
"If Dame Edna somehow mated with the Bobs their offspring might resemble The Kinsey Sicks,
a San Francisco-based drag quartet that apparently has never encountered a tune it couldn't
twist and bend to suit its own wickedly amusing purposes.... The Kinsey Sicks manage to put
on quite a show.... Perfect harmony ... a spirited, crowd-cheering close."
"One of the more uniquely original (and thoroughly fun and entertaining) acts we have
encountered in years... rich four-part harmony... hilarious... this is one act that should not be
missed, either in person or on CD."
"'Dragapella,' with its political bite and raunchy, sometimes sick humor, falls on a short
list of titles that would appeal to what one could call, in shorthand terms, 'The Daily Show'
crowd... On this particular Saturday night, the front-stage tables included a group of
retirement-aged women who looked like they got lost on the way to 'Menopause the Musical.' ...
But they were laughing as hard as anyone in the room. And really, you'd have to be Pat Robertson
waiting for the bus to Bob Jones University not to."
"Inventive...riotiously funny...sublime."
"These four guys are talented musicians.... The response has been incredible"
"Get thyself to 'Dragapella!' Four fabulous a cappella singers! Very funny!"
"Gut wrenchingly funny...pitch perfect a cappella harmonies."
"The Kinsey Sicks are a riot, singing perfect harmonies of song parodies that not only
impress the audience with their vocal abilities but also keeping fans laughing for the better
part of 90 minutes."
"Campy and bawdy, this show is a feast for the eyes, the ears and the funny bone."
"Loved it! This is the kookiest cross-dress combo since, I don't know!"
"Gloriously, proudly bad taste...gut-busting parodies and raucous shtick...high camp,
unafraid, subversive...astonishing."
"Outrageous, marvelous, hilarious ... they're golden-throated vocalists who defy
categorization."
"Hammy, hilarious music with a message... These are four men with big hair and big voices."
"For connoisseurs of gender-bending comedy who find Dame Edna too tame, the Kinsey Sicks up the
ante in Dragapella -- quadrupling the outlandish feminine allure while boosting it with
considerable vocal skills and a grab bag of outrageous, often naughty, musical numbers...
over-the-top silliness...hilarious...lyrics clever enough for Ira Gershwin or E.Y. Harburg."
"Drag performers with angelic voices, acid tongues, and a fiery wit that bounces
around the stage like a dodgeball, the Kinsey Sicks are quickly making their annual
contribution to the holidays a must-see tradition."
"Wickedly funny ... outrageous ... The Kinseys have earned flat-out critical raves."
"As funny as they are harmonious, they have already cemented their national repuation."
"Great singing mixed with wickedly evil satire."
"Beautifully sung, comic and politically savvy. It was a lark with substance and the audience
(and I) went wild."
"Irresistibly funny!"
"Riotously funny...ferociously creative...a must-see...everyone will enjoy themselves!"
"Lavish! Outrageous! The Kinsey SIcks are solid comics and especially solid singers."
"Tight harmonies the Andrews Sisters would have envied. [V]ery funny ... intelligent ... touching."
"This quartet gets big points for being one of the most original singing groups
in history...beautiful songs...hilarious...terrific."
"The Kinsey Sicks steal the show with their offbeat comedy and flawless a cappella singing."
"Sublime...biting wit...The Kinsey Sicks present some of the best tight harmonies that
I have heard in a long time. They have pitch perfect doo-wop in songs that cross the
line of political correctness. They have the voices and harmony of angels, but they are
devilishly sinful."
"Their hilarious, fast-paced, high-energy show is just what we could use right now....
Anyone with a sense of humor should enjoy Dragapella.... Uproarious.î
"The Kinsey Sicks will knock your socks off. What will surprise you is the hilarity of
the personas each has developed on stage, not to mention their outstanding musical abilities.
Whatever you do, don't miss the show."
"The Kinsey Sicks have produced one of the most joyous evenings of sharp
comedic and musical material I've seen in decades."
"Hilarious lyrics, impeccable timing, precise harmonies, political savvy,
Jewish humor, and stage-filling personae have made the San Francisco-based Kinsey Sicks
the country's premiere drag a cappella 'beautyshop quartet.' Winnie, Rachel,
Trixie, and Trampolina kid their way through gems...with style and sophistication."
"The San Francisco-area Kinsey Sicks...have to be seen to be appreciated fully, presenting one
of the funniest, most outrageous shows you will ever have the pleasure to laugh yourself sick at."
"San Francisco has come to know and love them as the...drag riot with a flawless sense of harmony."
"The Kinsey Sicks are here to wake us all up. They push the envelope all the way across
the table...Open your ears up to this group of excellent dragapella singers...fabulously
entertaining."
"Irresistible...hilarious.... The SIcks' tongue-in-cheek, gender-bending drapagella act is
entertaining, clever and delicious, amusing gay, lesbian and straight audiences alike."
"The Kinsey Sicks will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
These four musicians-actors-writers-composers-drag queens are wickedly gay, and man,
can they sing! Completely a capella, their material is intelligent and scathingly funny.
Their lyrical parodies of well known songs will have you rolling ... geniously hilarious ...
excellent original tunes ... brilliant. With their impeccable timing, precise harmonies, and
cultural savvy, the Kinseys represent fabulous, satirical queer humor at its finest."
"This San Francisco-based quartet revealed superb voices, impeccable timing and meticulous
choreography. Best of all was their sophisticated wordplay, lampooning hit songs through
devilishly altered lyrics that dripped in double entendres. Irreverent...hilarious."
ñWith its razor-sharp wit and impressive vocals, the group has become a favorite of
local Jewish and gay theater scenes...true ingenuity...they can also sing the house down.î
"Hilarious...laugh-out-loud.... The talent behind these arrangements and lyrics is obvious.
These girls really can sing. If you've seen them, you know they have an incredible show, and
"Sicks in the City" works as a great souvenir of it. If you've never seen them, you owe it to
yourself to do so. In the meantime, get this CD and get ready to sing along."
"One of the year's best live concerts... thunderous applause... their harmonies were
simply amazing... hilarious... I strongly urge you to see them"
"To say that the Kinsey Sicks are unique is an understatement. They combine excellent a
cappella singing talent with sharp satire and no-holds-barred wit. It makes for an evening not
to be missed.
"As funny as The Producers, as dazzling as 42nd St and even as insightful as Proof,
Dragapella! will leave you laughing till you hurt and are thoroughly smitten. This is some of the
smartest writing you're going to encounter anywhere. The vocal arrangements are sensational.
Dragapella! is one of the freshest and most entertaining shows to come along in quite a while.
It joyfully defies compartmentalization and is simply a wonderful time."
"Bravo! Diva! Encore! ... There's a reason the audience gave The Kinsey Sicks a standing ovation
and begged for two encores ... The Kinsey Sicks deliver the sharpest, wittiest, most gleefully
brainy shtick this side of the Catskills ... Their harmonies were beautiful and well rehearsed.
Their versatility was remarkable and consistently entertaining...The Kinsey Sicks are the
prettiest, funniest, swingingest, smartest show in town."
"The four individual characters provide a very potent chemistry which makes
for a show unlike anything ever seen before...At Saturday's performance the audience
granted the group two standing ovations, and gave the greatest amount of applause to the
two most serious songs they sing...Both songs give the muscles in the face a much needed break
rom the aching caused from laughing so hard the rest of the time."
"Don't miss The Kinsey Sicks...one of the best acts ever created by gay culture."
"The Kinsey Sicks had me in stitches...a show by The Kinsey Sicks is one of the most
complete theatrical experiences you will ever have."
ñHysterical tunes...genius original arrangements.... These girls can belt,
harmonize, and hold a tune."
"Those crazy Kinseys are at it again.... The lyrics are so funny you'll split your gut....
As a group their harmonies are on fire.... This is just too much fun to pass up."
"If laughter is the best medicine for a world run amock, then the Kinsey Sicks are brain
surgeons... The Sicks wield wit and satire like surgical knives; their play with words is as
funny as it is laser sharp, and their perfect a cappella harmony is nothing less than a cure-all
for whatever ails you."
