Bingo is a splashy, zippy, fun musical comedy about a colorful group of die-hard Bingo players and friends, Vern, Honey and Patsy, whose lives are thrown into a tizzy when a young stranger blows through their bingo hall and makes them confront their past. Book by Michael Heitzman and Ilene Reid, music and lyrcs by Heitzman, Reid, and David Holcenberg.

"Extremely funny and whimsical. A deceptively witty book and spirited performances — creating a hilarious portrait of a peculiar competitive event, much in the way The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee did for elementary school spellers." — The Associated Press

"Hilarious and inventive." — L.A. Weekly

"We laughed uproariously!" — The Post Star

Popcorn, friendship, intrigue and a famous five-letter word.  Bingo turns Grandma's favorite form of gambling into fun-loving musical theater. Catchy, peppy songs! The performers sell each number with gusto. — The New York Times

"The score is bouncy and well-crafted.  An exportable small-theater concoction a la Forever Plaid." — Variety
