“Director Michael Greif’s production is shot through with heartache and hangovers, and worth all the squirming in your seat.”

“With its reliance on catchy beats to liven up history, there are echoes of Hamilton as well as Six, the Broadway hit about Henry VIII’s wives that culminates in a long-awaited rise-from-your-seats dance party. But Here Lies Love, which melds dirty dancing with dirty politics, rouses audience members from the jump.”

“But if bubblegum melodies, outfits that slay, and pectoral-forward fun is what you’re after, the shoe fits.”
