Overall and Cartwright are especially winning, and Cartwright makes Dottie appealing in the vulnerability and longing that lurks beneath her hard, painted and bewigged surface. “Sparkler” lives up to its name.

An often funny, always captivating ride through the kitschy underbelly of life on the road to Vegas.

"Sparkler" serves us with slice-of-life queer acceptance, camp, and curiosity.

RTTV GuideJan 18, 2023

With its heart on its sleeve and not much on its mind, Darren Stein's uneven comedy floats along on a few good laughs and a certain goofy charm.
