Saints, sinners, sex, drugs and rock and roll. Imagine Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin, St. Augustine, and a bevy of virgin martyrs singing songs around a celestial campfire. Virtue and vaudeville, burlesque and the blessed; DMLRR's The Saints, where the revival tent meets the carnival tent.
World premiere, Capital Fringe Festival, DC, 2009

The voices are strong, the humor agreeably naughty, and the songs a tasty mix that ranges from rousing little foursquare rockers to soaring, scorching anthems to bluesy brags so swampily accomplished you’ll be thinking, “Hey, that would be perfect with a little harmonica” — just about the time Klein’s strapping St. Ursula pulls a Hohner out of her brassiere.

This being rock and roll, it's all done with equal parts devotion, subversion and wit... Dizzy Miss Lizzie looks so fine: The muscular high-spirited music and appealingly casual atmosphere have no trouble creating new converts. Washington Post
