"The music ... carries with it the lilt of sentimental European waltzes and Yiddish folk dances." - New York Times

"A musical that zestily explores serious moral issues." - Bergen Record

"Treats its material honestly and intelligently, capturing both its humor and its despondency." - New York Daily News

"A moving, joyous Off Broadway triumph." - UPI.
