Nicky Reviews
Stage Scene LA- Highly Recommended
"...Nicky looks absolutely sensational on Benoît Guerin's expansive set, seemingly imported from Palm Springs with mini-swimming pool intact and lit to SoCal desert brilliance by Azra King-Abadi, with additional production design kudos to Karen Fix Curry for her just-right bevy of costumes, Sammi Smith's spot-on props, and Michelle Stann's topnotch sound design."
Stage Raw- Highly Recommended
"...Alvarez's writing also echoes Chekhov's deep compassion, with humor and gentleness mixed amongst the darker scenes. His dialogue is tight and funny - peppered with trenchant satirical references to modern technology like Tinder and cell phones, along with samovars and Russian herring. The result is a wonderfully subtle mix of Russian sadness and comedy, but with a weirdly Californian sensibility. It's a production that is heartfelt and powerful."
