• “This time-tripping whimsical new drama by Jordan Harrison has an affectionate, music-loving heart and a human sunburst at its center.”

  — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

• “A quirky and enjoyable love letter to music and its seductive power to make us lose ourselves.”

  — Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News

• “Pure entertainment! In the hands of director Les Waters, Harrison’s rapturous chamber opera of a play spins and crackles like a beloved old 78.”
