"...For a play whose characters grandly extemporize on the magic of theater, this show could use more of its own."

"...Opening Night mayhem at a second-rate Canadian theater makes for first-rate crowd-pleasing fun as Beverly Hills' Theatre 40 presents the West Coast premiere of Norm Foster's hilarious-and surprisingly touching-Opening Night."

"...The entire fiasco offers an evening of laughter throughout, and all of the actors prove their comedic talent. Former Canadian actor Bruce Gray directs."

"...The show beamed with brilliance… from the direction, acting, and writing. Even the set decorators were deserving of applause, proving yet again, what Theatre Forty, Beverly Hills, is most well known for: putting on a stellar production."

"...This is one opening night everyone should attend. If you're not already a theatre buff, you will be at the play's end and you'll be snickering and quoting Foster's zingers for days."

"...When I took my seat, I had expected something of a comedic cross between Noises Off and Waiting for Guffman, but in Opening Night, there is a push and pull within the script as it transitions, abruptly at times, from slapstick comedy to melodrama. The audience is never fully sure of when to laugh or take the tender moments seriously. However, the script's awkwardness does not affect the performances of the actors, whose talents far exceed such a small stage.
