Play Esq. said: "What a lovely, beautiful and incredibly touching musical. I can’t remember when I was last affected by a new musical: it very well could have been The Band’s Visit in the same theater a few years ago. While I agree that all successful shows don’t need to transfer to Broadway, this one should. It’s going to be hard for this one to find an audience, but it’s a show that affirms life and makes the viewer feel damn good, without cloying the audience. Enough Tony love and it could be a hit in NY and on tour.
Just loved this, and if it transfers, the best actress category already has a front runner."
The front runner at the moment is Sharon D. Clarke, though if this show does indeed transfer, Victoria Clark will give her a pretty good run for her money.
