"...In the ever-evolving landscape of film-to-stage musical adaptations, the latest entrant Mystic Pizza emerges as a charming addition. Based on the eponymous 1988 cult-classic film delight, we are brought back to the quaint environs of Mystic, Connecticut, and the intertwined lives of three young Portuguese-American women, childhood friends working as waitresses at the titular pizzeria. The musical, this version of which goes on a mini-tour after its premiere run at La Mirada Theatre, keeps the setting in a small coastal town, which adds a touch of nostalgia and picturesque charm (effectively transformed on a large one-unit set by Nate Bertone), making it relatable and appealing."

"...Director Casey Husion keeps thing moving right along with the help of musical director Kristin Stowell and choreography by Connor Gallagher. The music is loud and merry, highlighting pop music of the 1980s, with the Mystic Pizza Band right there in the middle of the stage under conductor/keyboard 1 Jennifer Lin. Oldies but goodies should keep the joint hopping and the audience humming. This is razzle-dazzle as the enthusiastic dancers energize the show. The actors put their all into the tunes and really belt out the songs (especially Leona Silvia)."

"...Take the movie that set Julia Roberts on the path to superstardom, stir in twenty of the 1980s and '90s' Greatest Hits, give the mix a contemporary sensibility and a dynamite triple-threat cast, and you've got Mystic Pizza (The Musical), a surefire La Mirada Theatre hit."

"...Mystic Pizza is a bubbly new musical currently serving up 1980s nostalgia at La Mirada Theatre. Based on the 1988 rom-com of the same name, it's written by Sandy Rustin, with a score made up of hit songs from the 80s and 90s, arranged and orchestrated by Carmel Dean. Featuring a terrific cast, Mystic Pizza is a polished and consistently engaging production."

"...Perhaps coming in with little to no expectations helped with this surprise pleasure—after all, the indie-vibing movie itself was not an impactful nor a particularly huge box office hit during its initial release, even though it did manage to garner some pretty decent, well-deserved critical notices. And beyond anything else, the movie is, really, most notable for just being an early launch vehicle for soon-to-be stars Annabeth Gish, Lili Taylor, and some young lady named Julia Roberts… who all, without question, turned in very admirable performances in it."
