"...Life presents unexpected challenges to a newlywed bride in Bekah Brunstetter's gut-puncher of a dramedy Be A Good Little Widow, a particularly fine visiting production at West L.A.'s Odyssey Theatre."

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...Given the play's shallow limitations, director Brandon Baer does a credible job with the staging and the performances. There is, however, one scene in which Melody dances with her late husband's assistant, Brad (Khylin Rhambo), that is staged too frenetically and is out of step with the rest of the play. In contrast, the segment during which Hope teaches Melody to dance with the next man she will probably meet has a tenderness that is quietly touching (though it may strike audiences as too much of a departure from Hope's previous attitude)."
