  • “Director Michael Berresse was able to craft this collection of originally unconnected songs into an entertaining and deeply touching piece of theater. In addition to the fine performances, what made the production so effective was Berresse’s “choreography,” bringing the couple nearly together, frustratingly nearly together, an imagined caress, a hopeful touch, all imagined in a hoped-for intimacy. It was irresistible.”
    - The Times Argus

    “… emotionally intense, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking… as fresh and energetic at the encore as at the start. Weston’s version departs from the original in both space and time. “Two Fairy Tales” is presented in three parts. In his book Finishing The Hat, Sondheim wrote that “Two Fairy Tales” was cut “for that perennial and best, reason: it interrupted the flow of the story.” But here it knits the evening together.”
    - The Chester Telegraph

    Entirely sung, Weston’s polished production showcased lesser-known melodies and ditties by Stephen Sondheim that fans of the late composer will savor… delivered intricately…expertly stitched together, with not a seam showing.”
