Press Reviews

"WINNER shares with Albom's bestselling Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven the subject of life and the lessons it teaches."

— Los Angeles Times

"Think It’s A Wonderful Life…But Albom's version offers a fresh, funny twist. Look for plenty of digs at Hollywood, the movie business, lengthy awards shows and celebrity egos…Much of the humor is rooted in ridiculous truth."

— Oakland Press

"…takes on considerable emotional heft and poignancy, and Albom achieves a fitting end that is simultaneously inevitable and surprising. Albom also, throughout the play, offers up a good deal of bright, cynical humor."

— Ann Arbor News

"I suppose it is always a worthwhile thing to be reminded about mending relationships and getting right with God before it is too late. But it is truly a rare and special thing to have such a reminder included in one of the funniest plays I've ever seen."

— Detroit Monitor
