“Foremost
among the troupe is Donna Lynne Champlin ("Hollywood Arms," Pirelli
in the recent "Sweeney Todd"), who is arrestingly good even when
acting as narrator of the first vignette. Champlin is very funny as the
impatient sister in Alaska and the Niagara bride (in full white gown,
blustering around the stage like a frenzied Mary Todd Lincoln).”
Variety
“Donna
Lynne Champlin invests the bothered bride, Kate, with a vital comic jumpiness…”
New York Times
“Donna Lynne Champlin is game and
appealing…”
Village Voice
“…and
the especially the magnificent Donna Lynne Champlin convey years of subtext in
a few minutes.”
Backstage
“The
members of the cast handle their dual roles well, with Champlin ("Sweeney
Todd") and Wilfert particularly moving as the skittish bride and lonely
teacher, respectively.”
New
York Post
“Donna
Lynne Champlin is delightfully wry.”
Time

“…the
radiant Champlin as the increasingly frazzled bride on the (literal and
figurative) precipice of her life…aches with warmth.”
Talkinbroadway.com
“Champlin
is delightfully edgy (as a nervous bride)…”
Entertainment Daily
“Cummings'
splendidly buoyant production features excellent work from a talented
ensemble. Champlin brings a touching vulnerability to ground the
quirkiness of her bride and is wonderfully droll as the more sarcastic sister.”
BroadwayWorld.com
“…the
final vignette, which centers on Kate (played with appealing passion by Donna
Lynne Champlin),”
Theatremania
“Seven
skillful actor-singers ably depict at least two characters each. Donna Lynne
Champlin is dramatic as get-out as that edgy bride on the brink and droll as
the snarky one among those sisters.”
NJ
News Room
“Donna
Lynne Champlin is terrific.”
Theatre Scene
“Champlin
has a powerful voice, pouring layers of feeling and emotion into her singing.”
The Epoch Times
“the
highly professional company under the helm of director Jack Cummings III manage
to evoke vivid landscapes through virtually little more than sheer force of
talent.”
NY1
“I
have nothing but admiration and praise for the seven singing actors who are
obliged to play multiple roles, all extremely well”
CurtainUp
“The
actors in the ensemble cast give mostly understated, affecting performances as
the various lonely people, and they all sing beautifully.”
