LA Weekly calls Giroux’s first stab at executive producing “a hilarious musical satire” and a “non-stop comic orgy!”

The Los Angeles Times  calls Giroux’s project “cheerfully obscene”, “A celebratory embrace of everything low-brow and offensive”, and “An attack on audience indifference!”

Variety calls Invasion “an envelope-pushing raunchfest” with “several catchy melodies!”

And Back Stage West calls the production “an endless parade of offensive gags!”
