“Jonathan Spector destroys all that cautiousness and timidity with his bold, ambitious and ultimately transcendent new play, Birthright, which, not mincing words, needs to move to Broadway ASAP.”

“For now, this Chess proves a glorious sampler.”

“It is the kind of work I crave in a comedy-- insightful, entertaining, uproariously funny, perspicaciously comments on our time and stays with you long after the curtain comes down.”

“In a season of disappointing musicals (new or revived), The Rocky Horror Show is a welcome tonic.”

“Both musicals are incredibly entertaining and have a mad fab talented ensemble working their respective Broadway butts off singing and dancing and sillying at the speed of sound.”

“She’s a feminist but is also allowed to fall head over heels in love.”

“All the madness comes together rather spectacularly in a show that proves that crazy-crackers outside-the-box creative ideas can beat the Nazis and can also make for a truly terrific and sometimes sublime theatrical experience.”

“It’s also a wholly relatable theatrical experience, just in time for anyone feeling trepidation about attending familial holiday gatherings.”
