BWW Review: RUMORS at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 15, 2010
Led by the superb Mike Baum and Lydia Bushfield, it's a fast-paced comic tour de force for Wyckoff's talented players who deliver the goods with charm and wit. First presented on Broadway in the 1990s - to much critical acclaim and audience ardor - the script for Rumors is given the requisite tweaking by Wyckoff and company to make it relevant to 2010, updating some of the cultural references to make it more timely. Thankfully, Simon's script remains as sparkling and funny as ever and its look at rumor-mongering and the accompanying hoopla is as relevant today as it ever was, perhaps even more so now thanks to 24/7 media coverage.

And as the wife of Chris Clarke (her theatrical partner-in-crime aka producer), she's got the wife role down pat!
