“I was pleasantly surprised and even a bit motivated myself after leaving the theatre.”

“It's a touching play (Scott McPherson) but this incarnation left me feeling empty and un-touched.”

“Award winning performances, direction, and dialogue all combine to make this sleeper that moved upstairs from the Theater (off-Broadway) a hit that will inform, entertain, and remind us all just how far we've come and how much work is yet ahead.”

“It's a bona-fide hit and I am incredibly thankful for the ticket and will treasure my experience even more because of it.”

“What a pleasure it was to watch these fine actors take their evil and deceptive journey each night deep in the south way back in 1900.”

“This incarnation of the show is zippy, toe-tapping, touching, and upbeat with a heartwarming message.”

“In a nutshell, the material stinks and should be re-writtin/adapted.”

“While I enjoyed the overall performance, it left me with a feeling of being incomplete, unexplained at times, and disjointed.”

“I couldn't tell where the play was going or why it even started in the first place.”

“The aural delight wears off in about 25 minutes and the rest of the 2 hours is filled with his bizarre story that is at times incoherent, other times rambling, other times mildly interesting.”

“A perfect blend of soulful music, funny dialogue and a quirky cast of characters forms the basis for quite an enjoyable evening in the theatre.”

“At Broadway prices ($$) and a stage about 8x larger than what the show should be presented on, I found little to enjoy and many-a-glance at my watch to check when 90 minutes would finally be up.”

“Tuck Everlasting will tug at your heartstrings and bring you to your feet at the end.”

“Overall, the confusion generated in Act I couldn't be forgotten, but Bright Star is a solid, heartwarming story that has to be told in about 2 hours.”

“I didn't have a clue why we were watching him, why he was there, and frankly was bored and disgusted at his pointless babbling.”

“There were plenty of stars in this production although none of them shone overly brightly.”
