["T. Zee" is] a camp spoof much along the lines of [O'Brien and collaborator Richard Hartley's] previous "Rocky Horror Show" which may catch on despite some initial critical brickbats. The jump from camp to cult still being a short one, this item has the ingredients, warmed-over though they may be, to almost ensure such a repeat following.
It's all inoffensive, confused fun as [the play] pokes fun at numerous comic-strip genres without worrying in the least about a consistent plot line or the likes. No matter: it'll please the preconditioned without overly displeasing uninitiates. And though music and lyrics are uneven, many numbers are bright and witty enough to make the potpourri generally easy to take in most aspects.
