- Paul Engleman for The Huffington Post
"God is in the details of Paul Carr's new play, a muscular slice-of-life dramedy" "the bantering characters are spellbinding"
- Laura Molzahn, The Chicago Reader
"This play expertly captures the incredible emotional drama that gripped Chicago leading up to Harold Washington's election as mayor in 1983. It is great, both as a historical document and an artistic achievement."
"As a Harold supporter who lived through the actual events, it brought a lot back."
"Keeps you at the edge of your seat even if you're not Chicagoan. Flawless directing, using space constraints creatively, great script and always timely topic: human rights, prejudice and politics. Some superb acting."
"Trenchant and tough-minded."
"A great setting for a wonderful show which brought back some old memories."
"A raw, important event in Chicago history that changed the city for the better [...] Well written and acted."
