"...Trying to cram in a succession of broader historical events further crowds the serviceable melodrama's natural breathing room."

"...It is a bit much to take in, especially in a theatrical format. The script often descends into overheated melodrama and relies on puzzling, improbable twists."

"...The world premiere of WHEN STARS ALIGN possesses and blends together all the ingredients of a perfect time at the theatre - a brilliant cast; a formidable director; a solid, realistic script flowing at a comfortable, steady pace; and top-notched production elements. Then intermission interrupts. The second act, unfortunately, never recaptures the magnetic hold or musicality of the first act."

"...Special kudos to a strong ensemble of multi-talented actors. They keep both the exuberance and the poignancy of this tale alive. Despite the play's setting 150 years ago, the message remains timely and gripping. And, after all, isn't that what good theater is all about?"

"...When Stars Align, a mini-series worth of plot compacted into two hours (plus intermission) of gorgeously-staged historical melodrama that proves involving and ultimately quite moving despite some occasionally clunky dialog along the way."

"...Adapting a play from a novel is tricky, especially one that traverses time and place. Eglash-Kosoff has attempted to include much of her novel's plot. Some of the dramatic effect is lost in taking on too many events, and multiple characterizations get lost in the telling. Fiddle and guitar music at the beginning and post-intermission are mood-setting, but they slow the momentum of the story. Kudos to the cast, though, for heartfelt performances."
