Press Reviews

"Sublime… David Adjmi’s astonishing new play, with songs by the former Arcade Fire member Will Butler, delivers far more than a dishy glimpse inside the recording studio during rock’s golden age."
— Naveen Kumar, The New York Times

"Masterful… a brilliant piece of must-see Broadway."
— Chicago Tribune

"Stunning… [Adjmi’s] hypernaturalistic script captures the ebb and flow of overlapping speech both inside and outside the studio’s sound room… The show is part concert and part breakup drama… and part beautifully observed period piece."
— Sarah Holdren, Vulture

"Critic's Pick! Adjmi ingeniously weaves sound and story into something as granular as it is operatic… relentlessly compelling… has the grit of a documentary... as rich and lustrous as they come. You could even call it platinum."
— Jesse Green, The New York Times

"[A] work of theatrical virtuosity… all the tiny details, wild rhythms and clever hooks presented on stage have added up to a work that is brave, purposeful and rich."
— Variety
