“Disaster! is pure maximalism — a big, old-fashioned musical with big numbers and big performances.”

“Thanks to Karam’s script and the ensemble’s performances, every slight, every shared memory, and every knowing glance feels utterly lived in.”

“The direction, performances, and set design by Derek McLane create a symphony of shouting and flop sweat, turning pure slapstick into high art.”

“The giant flame-colored tree looming over the set of The Velocity of Autumn stands as a rather on-the-nose but beautiful metaphor for our central character's current state.”
