For Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2009):

"We know we’re in for more than a mere multimedia experience or experiment in theatrical hybrid from the first moments, when Hedwig strides on stage, a towering vision in fishnet full-length gloves, hugely proportioned hair, and lethal-looking red high-heeled boots"
-- Kilian Melloy, EDGE Boston (read entire review here)

"Hedwig, played with inspiration by Danny Bryck, and Yitzhak, played with beautiful, painful tenderness by A. Tully.... The Hot Protestants had everything I was looking for when it comes to Hedwig’s band- they looked great, their playing was impeccable and fearless, and they had a good sense of humor."

For Portraits: The Last Leaf / Still Life (2008):

"Strachman’s approach to the two one-act plays [The Last Leaf and Still Life] is to assume that they both take place in the same Greenwich Village apartment, though one hundred years apart. This is an inspired choice: the contrast allows for an appreciation of two modes of storytelling, the meticulous plotting and twist ending of the O. Henry tale standing out against the modern, character-driven Giering and Javerbaum opus."

"Thank heaven for companies like BLUE SPRUCE THEATRE. Where would we see vibrant chamber musicals like their current PORTRAITS, if they weren’t carving out a niche for them? ... You won’t find a better ensemble anywhere. See PORTRAITS for the music. See if for the stories…but see it."

For The Last 5 Years (2007):

 "BLUE SPRUCE THEATRE puts down some strong roots with its very first production, the bittersweet chamber musical, THE LAST FIVE YEARS ... Van De Giesen [excels] in the humorous “Ohio” song and Prescott [wins] us over with the “Schmuel” fable ...."

"Splendidly sung by Jeffrey Prescott as Jamie and Alyson Van De Giesen as Cathy, under Jesse Strachman's well focused direction, with fine orchestral accompaniment (two keyboards, guitar, violin and cello) as conducted by Michael Kreutz."
