Press Reviews
"Perfect Monologues!"
— Outer Critics Circle
"Jannuzzi has a good ear for the periods and for his characters allowing his actors to show range. The point is perhaps not so much about Elvis per se, but instead these scenes reveal snapshots of an American culture, people, and place... In a nearly chronological order, the stand-alone scenes take place between the 1940s and the present day... These characters and situations are best understood within the context of their period."
— NYTheatre.com
"[Jannuzi's] plays unfold in such an intimate and genuine way. He writes about Elvis Presley fans with educated and unconventional twists... Smooth transitions and captivating creativity"
— RobertaontheArts.com
"Bravo. Much Applause."
— Mario Fratti
