​"... this revival clearly thrives on the skills of Nick Sandys." - WTTW.com - 2019 



"... a deeply smart, wildly energetic, neatly choreographed, often hilarious new production..."- Chicago Reader "Top Shows of 2015"
​
​

​"This is a Chicago-style show in the best aspects of the term: furious energy, small theater, unstinting pain, sublimation of the individual into the ensemble,... totally fearless..." 
- Chicago Tribune  "Top Ten Best of 2014"
