The LA Times: “The Best of the New in LA”
“A quirky parody of '80s TV! Between the crowds, street performers and preachers, it's easy to miss the Promenade Playhouse, tucked behind a nondescript door along the Third Street Promenade. That's a shame, because on Fridays and Saturdays one of the quirkier offerings on L.A.'s late-night theater scene — Money & Run: Episode 1 — is unfolding before a packed house.”

More reviews:
“Just to confirm the word of mouth: Money & Run is one of the funniest and most original bits of nonsense to be seen for a long time.”
—John Longenbaugh, The Hit List, Seattle Weekly
“A hybrid Three’s Company meets Natural Born Killers. In a good way.... The humor is smart and furious.... While you may think you have more entertaining things to do at 11:00 p.m. on a Friday night, trust me. You don’t.”
—Adrian Ryan, The Stranger
“It’s hard to imagine there’s a more fun hour to be spent in Seattle; this is better than comedy; this is theater as celebratory event.”
—John Longenbaugh, Seattle Weekly
“Frighteningly funny.”
—Bret Fetzer, The Stranger
“Rawley has fined tuned the art of episodic comedy by creating bold, gutsy characters… The writing is as tight, funny and fast as the action…. It’s like a mix of Tom and Jerry and Reservoir Dogs, served neat with a Baby Jesus on the side.”
—Robyn Bell, Seattle Weekly
“The excitement level of a Money & Run show is usually reserved for major sporting events and strip shows: a noisy, good-natured anticipation, featuring loud whoops, stomping feet, and spontaneous eruptions of applause… Soon you’re hooked, happily caught up in this ‘Dukes of Hazzard with serious emotional problems’ world.”
—Adrian Ryan, The Stranger
“Rawley’s niftiest trick is to inspire the same dumb affection for his people and their absurd world as the shows he’s mocking… Rawley has a winning instinct for making fun of television’s contrivances while also celebrating its cheery inanity.”
—Steve Wiecking, Seattle Weekly
