What the Critics are Saying

New York Post
"Humor, yes, but humanity? That's rare in a Broadway musical. When it does come along... hug it to your heart."
USA Today
"For all the trials these characters endure, A Catered Affair is ultimately a celebration of life — neither flashy nor flawless, but well worth attending."
Variety
"The show resonates due to its modesty, grace, gentleness and emotional integrity -- qualities not often front and center in musicals."
