TheaterMania says that Jessica “delivers the most heartfelt performance of the season,” New York Post says that she is “fabulous,” and Time Out New York says “she grabs you with her warmth and humor and holds you with her vocal power.”
Broadway.com notes that Kelli “fuels the show’s deeply emotional impact on audiences” while Josh at the Movies” says she “makes Bertie the heart of the whole thing.”
