"...Albee, who died last week at 88, wrote "The Play About the Baby," now enjoying a sterling staging at the Road on Magnolia theater in North Hollywood, when he was 70. The play has received radically mixed reactions since its 1998 premiere. Non-linear and meandering, "Baby" is an arguably lesser work, a meta-theatrical outpouring that alternates between the comical and the dire."

"..."The Play About the Baby" will leave you with questions about love, relationships, loss and many, many other things. It will move you and stay with you far beyond the closing scene. This is what I love about live theatre, how special works can invoke deep emotion and thought that other mediums cannot. The show blends humor and fear in a way that will very likely leave you disturbed, but disturbed in a way you will very much welcome."

"...I found the play, not only disturbing, but had trouble trying to understand what Albee was attempting to put across to the audience. Was he saying there was or was not a baby after all? I presumed that I had to decide for myself. What makes this production worthy of all of its kudos, for me, is the top-notch acting by its four actors and the grand direction by Andre Barron. I would not have wanted to miss seeing it as it is, indeed, another adventure in exceptional theater."

"...There must have been some odd and disquieting feelings floating around and blanketing the Road's opening night, which coincided with the announcement of the great playwright's death at age 88 only a few hours earlier. If there would be any credence to the idea of ghosts and unsettled spirits hovering over the earth after their passing, the spectral Albee wouldn't have been far away from Magnolia Boulevard that night-and after seeing what Barron and his company have accomplished with the creation of one of his often misunderstood works, the guy could definitely rest in peace."

"...Be prepared to use your brain to its full capacity, and to stretch your heart in many directions at once. The Director Andre Barron had quite a task to bring this spiraling fable to the stage, but he and his actors and production crew have created an experience that I will not soon forget and it absolutely should not be missed. It is that rarest of colliding forces, magnificent words, beautifully interpreted and originally and masterfully presented in heart-breaking and mind-blowing brilliance."

"...In The Play About The Baby, we witness a young couple, set in a sort of "Garden of Eden" with only their love for one another to express and explore...until a man and a woman tell the couple that they are here to take their baby and subsequently seek to convince the boy and girl that there was no baby at all."
Stage Raw - Highly Recommended
"...Director Barron has cast the piece beautifully and deploys his actors with wit in Albee's clever ideological vaudeville. Orazio's Boy is feckless, randy, and greedy, competing with the baby for Mommy's nipple. As Girl, Blaize is at first happy to revel in Boy's attention, but her grief at the loss of her baby is real, and throughout much of Act 2, she hovers on the brink of tears. As Woman, Gilbert is giddy and garrulous, happily recounting her possibly fictitious amorous memories. But it is Anderson who finds multiple layers of meaning in Man - now humorous, now passionate, indignant, and angry - and who gives the production its richest substance."
