DC Theater Arts Review
“William Finn’s lyrics articulate human frailty, terror, and hope… His portraits of people accepting the need to learn to live with grief rather than trying to get over it are — well — reassuring.”
Broadway World Review
“Under the expert direction of Christina A. Coakley, the production unfolds beautifully with each song performed by a talented ensemble of singers with acting chops to spare.”
DCist Review
“Inspired by (but not entirely focused on) the events of 9/11, grief and goodbye are woven thematically through most of the musical numbers, sung deftly by an impressive sextet that director Christina A. Coakley has assembled.”
MD Theatre Guide Review
“There’s joy and hope in the music… Each performer brought a range of emotion (both joyful and sorrowful) to the various roles they played.”
Washington City Paper Review
“Christina A. Coakley’s direction and Josh Cleveland’s musical direction present a simple but timely reflection on love, loss, and everything in between.”
