ELISABETH VINCENTELLI for NEW YORK POST says, "Unfortunately, for the most part, the zaniness never takes flight.

JOHN SIMON for BLOOMBERG says, "We get rather more competence than magnificence"

DAVID COTE for TIME OUT NY says, "It's a tasteful banquet of nostalgia served up with class"

LINDA WINER for NEWSDAY says, "There are many pleasures in Doug Hughes' sumptuous joy of an old-fashoned revival"

MICHAEL KUCHWARA for ASSOCIATED PRESS says, "Effervescent... revival "

DAVID ROONEY for VARIETY says, "The rhythms of Doug Hughes' production are too uneven to make all its rewards equal, but George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber's 1927 comedy about a New York stage dynasty retains plenty of charm for theater lovers."
