Press Reviews
"A comedy, a suspense tale, a love story, and a unique theatrical experience. “It fires and remains in the imagination. The play is a fine one, with great human validity. Its thought content is stimulating. Beautifully written.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer.br> “A singing kind of theatre in which playwrights Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee affirm that the theatre they sing about is ever-living, ever-lasting and ever-renewable.” —Philadelphia Inquirer and Variety.br> “A most dazzling play. There is magic, there is fantasy, there is high aspiration, and there is a superb exploitation of the theatrical instrument."
