Published Reviews

"...a formula that worked to perfection for James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan in The Shop Around The Corner, for Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in In The Good Old Summertime, for Daniel Massey and Barbara Cook in She Loves Me, and most recently for Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. And it works once again to perfection... in Parfumerie, the play that started it all..."

Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA

"...a festive entertainment..."
