"'Doyle and Debbie Show' will wow your socks off!" - Chicago Sun-Times
"Part Colbert Report, Part Grand 'Ole Opry."- Time Out Chicago
"...a gloriously tacky send-up of a washed-up country duo." - The New York Times
"Four words for this country music send up:
HI-LAR-EE-OUS." - Chicago Magazine
"Book of Mormon Funny" - Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune
The Doyle & Debbie show - featuring all-original songs - is sublime homage and parody, simultaneously idolizing and lampooning country music's tradition of iconic duos and the battle of the sexes that accompany them. Bruce Arntson and Jenny Littleton take audiences on a freewheeling joyride through a wickedly funny script and score - all delivered with utmost sincerity.

by delygi1 on 5/3/12Royal George Theatre - ChicagoThe Doyle and Debbie Show was hilarious! I don't laugh out loud alot and I SNORTED at this show. The actors playing Debbie, Doyle and Buddy were spot on- so talented and we really got swept up in their "comeback" tour. The Royal George is a small venue and perfect for this show- we really felt like we were in a honkytonk in the South. Only bad thing- rude bartender and spoiled oj in our mimosas.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Really original and funny.

Rating: 5 out of 5by Anonymous on 5/2/12Royal George Theatre - Chicago We enjoyed the show. Not your typical "country" act. There isn't a bad seat in the cabaret theater.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Doyle and Debbie Show hit the spot!
by Skyvel on 4/17/12Royal George Theatre - ChicagoThe show was very funny and moved along with catchy songs. Doyle was a hoot, and Debbie was cute to watch as well as a great singer.All the seats were perfect and the bar venue was believable. There was a bit of truth in the stereotypes of the characters, albeit a stretch in some areas. It all was entertaining.The costumes were as vibrant as the acting. It was fun to watch. A smile never left my face unless I was outright laughing. Good job!

by lindalucc on 4/16/12Royal George Theatre - ChicagoHad no expectations but was surprised that the writing caught my ear and held me tight, listening for the next clever, comical stream of words that broke me up. It's not often you take your seat, movement begins stage right and you're cracked with the first lyrics. I think there's still room for development but it has huge potential to be a great production and go on from the Royal George.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Not worth the price
by beyaboy on 4/10/12Royal George Theater - ChicagoAfter reading the reviews of others attending this show we decided to go to Doyle and Debbie. Some had mentioned it was worth the $30 which I would say it was worth that but definitely not worth the $58 per person we spent. There really wasn't alot of change up and just seemed like an hour and a half of the same thing over and over. We laughed a couple of times but nothing was hilarious to us. We were going to go to Late Nite Catechism and wished we would have because THAT is HILARIOUS. Doyle and Debbie was a waste of time and money.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Fun times at the D & D show
by BoomerangLinus on 4/2/12Royal George Theatre - ChicagoA last minute choice, it was worth the $30 ticket price...the music was typical C&W (not my favorite), but it was a great parody of that genre...especially the songs' lyrics...both actor/actress were quite accomplished. the audience was sparse for a Saturday night, which was surprising...

Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 3/27/12Royal George Theatre - Chicago Doyle and Debbie is a country musical comedy featuring two actors who play their roles perfectly. The comedy is in the songs lyrics and the interaction between the 2 stars and a third actor who has a supporting role.Presented in a small cabaret theater that bring the audience very close to the stage. The show is 90 minutes of fun.
