Reviews

    "A CELEBRATION! Exuberant! Perfection! Strong performances enacted with delicacy and precision. Craig Lucas urges us to celebrate life and love; Director Peter DuBois shows us how it's done." — The Boston Globe
    "MAGICAL! A witty and powerful romantic fairy tale featuring charming performances. You will be moved!" — Boston Herald
    "SOME ENCHANTED EVENING! Director Peter DuBois has conjured up an adult fairy tale, a sweet dream, a romantic comedy with a supernatural twist that will make some swoon." — The Patriot Ledger
    "I LOVED THIS PLAY! The questions that Mr. Lucas addresses are timeless ones. He has written a play that propels the audience through hairpin emotional turns, some soaring heavenward and others plummeting toward earth, until one is deposited at the final curtain in a winded and teary yet exhilarating state." — Frank Rich, The New York Times (March 9, 2007)
    "An intimate and extremely delicate work. Lucas's exquisite writing spins out sentiments that could be treacle in other hands, in a scenario that might just as easily have dissolved into contrived whimsy. But there's an anchoring sincerity that makes you believe." Variety (March 9, 2007)
