    “Michael Berresse provides excellent stage direction in moments that could prove stagnant elsewhere. Margo Seibert and Zak Resnick as Cathy and Jamie make outstanding storytellers, as well. In addition to Berresse's fine direction and casting, Tim Mackabee's large partitions and Robert Wierzel's stark lighting give the intimate musical a stunning, grand atmosphere that fits ACT's Geary Theater Stage perfectly.”

    “Director Michael Berresse understands that this work is best served by simplicity and transparency. Margo Seibert and Zak Resnick play Cathy and Jamie with a shining emotional clarity and directness that is completely engaging. These are extraordinary songs, given extraordinary performances, and a good time is guaranteed.”
