selected press:
"Marvelous. In fact, it was so good that when it finishes its extended run on September 2nd, producers should think about moving the whole show with its 15 or so performers to an off-Broadway house (or even a Broadway theater) where it could run for a long time.”
What’s really key here is the staging done by the director Will Pomerantz. He has flawlessly put the scenes and musical numbers together.“
