The reviews are in, and critics applaud Rita Moreno: Life Without Makeup, an unflinchingly honest and spectacularly entertaining new show about her amazing life and career. Here's what they say:

"Moreno -- past and present -- is a pleasure… Written by Berkeley Rep Artistic Director Tony Taccone, in his local playwriting debut, developed with Moreno and directed by David Galligan, Rita is an idiosyncratic cross between star showcase and intimate memoir." Read more from the SF Chronicle

"A highly pleasurable showbiz memoir steeped in the nostalgia of the Golden Age of Hollywood... Rita Moreno sparkles!" Read more from the Mercury News/Bay Area News Group

"Raw, honest, fun, inspiring. What a life in show biz is all about. Hats off to Rita. Do not miss this show!" Jan Wahl of KCBS-AM and KRON-TV
