Here's what the
press says about Toni Halleen:
Leaving Time for
Living
"Toni Halleen once whiled away her off hours with
improvisational performances at local clubs and
theaters. Then she translated her improv background into
a growing sideline business that coaches attorneys to
think on their feet."
Dick Youngblood StarTribune

The Comedian as Lawyer: who Knew
"Toni Halleen is probably the only attorney in
Minnesota- or elsewhere- who attributes her career path
to watching the Smothers Brothers on television....She
uses her training in improvisation and stand-up in her
business, Fun With Law." Barbara Jones
Minnesota Lawyer

Happy to Perform on the Fringe
"It is a stylized piece, with droll sense of humor
and sharp choreography....The songs, which Halleen wrote
with musical director Shirley Mier, have great pop
hooks..." Graydon Royce

After a Rendition of "The Billable Hour
Minuet," Here Come the Dancing Judges
"Does the thought of working at a law firm make you
want to burst into song? Unless you are Toni Halleen,
your answer is probably no....Since she often
incorporates musical parodies into her comic routines,
she says that it was only natural she made her play a
musical....This romp through law contains 10 original
songs, which span a variety of musical genres...the
musical is accessible to everyone, especially those who
have worked in a general office setting."
Brandi A. Brown Law & Politics
August/ September 2003
Must See... Lawyers get Musical Treatment
"...fun, smart, surprising musical dig at the world
of high powered law....a deft ensemble that brings out
the comic nuances of Halleen's script, developing strong
and distinct characters that move beyond
stereotypes....you can't help but laugh as the cast lays
out the charm..." Matt Peiken

Fringe Festival Ticket Sales up 27
Percent
"The top-selling show in this year's Fringe was
"Soulless, Bloodsucking Lawyers: A Musical" which sold
1,126 tickets..." Dominic P. Papatola
