Reviews
"Held me in its grip...had me sobbing uncontrollably...Sondheim's deepest, most powerful work."
- Robert Brustein, New Republic
"Easily among Sondheim's best—subtle, rhapsodic and full of emotional depth."
- David Patrick Stearns, USA Today
"Hypnotic, rigorous, very risky...a major work."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times
