Almost Maine Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...Most hinge on a gimmick or a one-liner, but even when they overstay their welcome by a beat or two, their fanciful wordplay is theatrical, surprising and engaging throughout. And whenever the cutesiness threatens to cloy, the script throws in a palate-cleansing taste of tart or bitter."
Stage Scene LA- Recommended
"...Play don't get any more magical, nor any more unabashedly romantic (with just enough salt to keep things from getting sappy) than John Cariani's Almost, Maine, the record-breaking Most Produced Flop in off-Broadway history, now getting what well may be its first fully-cast professional Los Angeles production since its 2006 New York debut-and an absolutely wonderful one at that."
Neon Tommy- Recommended
"...Director Martin Papazian crafts each couple into a unique, yet universal story of love. The actors fully embodied each character's sometimes odd and incredibly high stakes needs."
The Los Angeles Post- Recommended
"...The stage set was practical and worked well to move us through the short scenes. "Almost Maine" is light entertainment but you won't feel cheated; as a matter of fact, you will leave the theater relaxed and happy. It fits easily into the holiday spirit with the wintery look of costumes and the white snowdrift covered set. I highly recommend "Almost Maine" for a nice evening and a break from your holiday chores."

"...Don't pass up this offering if you can help it. The laughs and giggles are well worth the ticket price and time spent in the seat. Each and every cast member brings their A-game, vulnerability and range to every moment of this show without exception. All other elements from lighting to costume to scenery are completely complimentary."
