"...From the poetic “Are We the Waiting” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends” to the defiant “Know Your Enemy” to the anthem-like “21 Guns,” the expertly performed songs cast a spell that had young, old and middle-aged audience members head-banging together at the Ahmanson. Now that alone is one incredible feat even if this merging of Broadway and VH1 styles is only a pit-stop on the way to the musical’s 21st century future."

"...Director Rozsa Horvath has mounted a commendably handsome production, commingling music, lighting, sound and video (designers Vinnie Reyes, Michael Gend, Matt Richter and William Barker/Bruce Allen respectively) to create an appropriately baleful ambiance."

In addition, he couches his tale in a tricky “experimental” format, nonlinear and often abstract, with sometimes-disconcerting elisions of time and place."

"...Despite this criticism, I must give high marks to the HumanArts Theater Company’s new production, under the direction of RoZsa Horvath. The cast is uniformly excellent, with Brian Robert Harris a commanding presence as Quentin; Vincent Malcolm Cusimano is also fine as Mickey, the friend who betrays Quentin and who is clearly modeled after director and HUAC testifier Elia Kazan."
