Press Reviews
"Like Our Town, which it resembles in so many ways, The Human Comedy concerns life and death and growing up in a small community... Along with its poignancy and heartfelt feeling for home, the adaptation captures Saroyan's joie de vivre ."
— Christian Science Monitor
"Funny, charming and touching... a stirring flight of musical fancy... This has to be the most inspired, inventive and downright pleasurable music to grace Broadway in a long, long time."
— WCBS TV
