Wei-Huan Chen, Houston Chronicle:

"I could feel Hays’ kinetic hand in this production, same as I did in his “Men on Boats,” another female-focused look at history that felt fresh, surprising and filled with a sense of movement."

​

Brett Cullum, Broadway World:

"Philip Hays...knows how to establish the right energy from the get-go, and keeps things moving right up until they need to take a breath."
