Writer/Performer Ann Randolph is known across
the country for her outrageous physical comedy, inspired monologues,

"When I first saw [Squeeze Box], I was deeply moved. Ann Randolph's
amazing work, both as a writer and fellow performer, touched my heart
and my mind so profoundly that I felt it belonged on the New York stage." — Anne
Bancroft
"She goes in and out of these characters. She's a bit of a genius.
I've been around, and I haven't seen so much talent in one person since
I married Anne Bancroft. I've got to say that these
are two great Anns, and I am glad that they hooked up together." — Mel Brooks
"Rubber faced Randolph is wickedly hysterical." — Los Angeles Times
"Randolph allows us to see ourselves in and
among people who seem utterly removed from our urban existence." — LA Weekly
"Through ... humor, insight and compassion, Randolph elevates
the spirit — no small feat." — Minneapolis Star Tribune
Brooksfilms (Mel Brooks and Anne
Bancroft) have optioned Squeeze Box for a feature film written by

Squeeze Box Reviews:
Now "Squeeze Box" has
come to New York, and it's clear what Ms. Bancroft, now the show's
producer,
saw in it... Ms. Randolph... has a definite talent for sketch comedy...—
The New York Times
Such warmth and frankness are in short supply
in the theater, so go and bask while you can. Her piece has been
optioned for film rights,
and this off-Broadway run may catapult her to bigger and better places.
If you go now, you get a bargain.You want to see her after she’s
a star? That, as Brandy would say, will cost extra. — The New York Sun
Revolutionary... Whitmanesque... A gem of
a show. — Entertainment Weekly
This combination of compassionate storytelling,
humor and frank confessions... makes for an enjoyable evening of
theater. — Broadway.com
Squeeze Box is a simple piece of theatre and Randolph is funny, gawky,
and poignantly touching. There is no political agenda to the play,
no terminal disease, no screaming battle—just the contribution
of a life, dealing with real issues, insecurities, and passions. I
encourage you witness this refreshing experience on the New York stage. — NYTheater.com
To Ann Randolph, when an accordion is in
the right hands, it can produce ballads as lush and romantic as the
finest string quartet, as if an
entire symphony orchestra is housed within that single instrument.
...By the end of her one-woman play Squeeze Box... she'll have you
believing it as well.

The immensely amiable Ms. Randolph has got
a slightly off-kilter sense of humor that keeps you on your toes
through even the most familiar
territory.

Randolph’s show, which has been brought
to New York by actress (now producer) Anne Bancroft, comes filled
with many charms. — American Theater Web
