The Heir Apparent Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Somewhat Recommended
"...The performers, particularly Smith as Crispin, find their timing and their stride. This ambitious production boasts a gorgeous set by Christopher Scott Murillo glowingly lit by Jeremy Pivnick, and pretty period costumes by Kim DeShazo. It has all the ingredients for success; it may just need to cook a bit longer before it achieves perfection."
Stage Scene LA- Recommended
"...Ives' silly, clever, contemporary-flavored take on Regnard's three-century-old French soufflé could not be more délicieux, particularly in the inspired directorial hands of Troubadour Theater Company head honcho Matt Walker, who takes Ives' already hilarious script and bumps up the comedy quotient again and again."
OC Register- Recommended
"...International City Theatre's staging is the 2011 play's Los Angeles-area premiere. As bright and kinetic as anything by Molière, it's also thoroughly winning and diverting "� a well-oiled comedic clock whose intricate workings gain precision from Matt Walker's crisp direction and first-rate cast."
Cultural Weekly- Recommended
"...It will never be a great piece or quite match The Liar in cleverness, but as the actors at ICT get more comfortable with playing this unusual brand of comedy, it should take on a fun life of its own."
