Critic Reviews

  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

    The Lady in Question Is Charles Busch should prove quite enticing for the legions of fans who have followed him throughout his career.

  • Joe Brown, San Francisco Chronicle

    Affectionately observed, nimbly edited (and perhaps a mite overly reverent) documentary.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    An affectionate tribute to the drag artist who has been a Manhattan institution for more than 20 years.

  • John Anderson, Variety

    Busch's own personality, and the way the directors use the director/playwright's own dialogue and delivery to illustrate aspects of his life, give this documentary a resonance and playfulness missing in all too many bio pics.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    Invaluable as theater history.
