What The Critics Are Saying About “The Screams of Kitty Genovese”:
"It is, simply, the best musical theatre work on show at the fringe and festival.
One not to be missed."
The Guardian
“Hold the hand-wringing over the precipitous decline of the American musical theater, please.”
Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
"Simpatico and Todd have fully explored this not-so-isolated instance
of civil anarchy, wringing our hearts while stinging our conscience. They have produced a powerful evening of musical theater,
one with the prime ingredients of classical tragedy: pity and terror. In addition to being one of the most powerful musicals
of the last decade, ‘The Screams of Kitty Genovese’ gave me hope for the renewal of musical theater."
Robert Brustein, The New Republic
“Allow me to be among the first
to shout from the rooftops in support of Todd and Simpatico's score. With intricate character work, unpredictable sexiness,
and bluesy undulations, this show's songs create a uniquely vivid tapestry of New York tragedy…. The show is first-rate.”
Matthew Murray, Talkin’ Broadway
“A wonderful work… it is a searing indictment of the type of mentality
spawned by urbanism and isolationism.”
