Here are the reviews:
Chris Silk: Florida Rep enrolls sellout crowd in 'Social Security'
I had the (good?) fortune to sit in front of a some young folks who screamed and howled at the sight of old folks getting it on. When David S. Howard and sassy Ann D. Hurst snuggled on the couch I heard yelps of "YOU GO GET IT GRANDMA!" right behind me. Best. Audience. Ever. If the show seems mechanical, it is. Andrew Bergman's script (and Robert Cacioppo's direction) moves characters through the paces in methodical fashion. But it is still hilarious. Look for Carrie Lund and Mark Lanier as droll, drop-dead funny in-laws. http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/nov/04/review-social-security-florida-rep-fort-myers/
