"This is where it's at the most outrageous thing I have ever witnessed... the only true theater where there is total participation."
TRUMAN CAPOTE

"A landmark in the history of the new liberated theater... a mind-blowing experience, anew concept to replace the advent of the rock concert of the 1970's... a spangled chaos of flesh, a seething mass of hock-shop costumes, doing their thing for freedom... composed of equal parts of Mardi Gras, old movie musicals, the United Fruit Company, Kabuki, and the Yale Varsity show, with a lot of angel dust thrown in...If you have never heard of them, there are some circles that would say you just aren't alive."
REX REED

"Everybody loves a good orgy, but this one was something else... If ever there were true believers, it's the Cockettes...Sylvester has a good gospel sound with the beat and shimmer of Aretha's."
ROLLING STONE

"The Cockettes are the double reverse of Gay Liberation... San Francisco's most outrageous freaks...practicing sexual role confusion out of a third-hand trunk of glitter, feathers, food stamps, and funk in wacked-out musical parodies - their usual style being stoned Busby Berkeley emerging from Kubla Khan's tent... insanity becomes reality -fantasy becomes truth."
