"...Gorgeously shaped by musical director Anthony Lucca and conductor Anthony Zediker, who leads the 5-piece orchestra, which includes co-composer Mr. Stevens on guitar, a magnetic, mesmeric cast shoots these musket-ball numbers right between the eyes; the songs may not kill, but they hit their target. Robert Arturo Ramirez's sound design is impeccable; the 7.1 stereophonic sound - with instruments appearing from different speakers - is a sensorial delight."

Stage Scene LA - Highly Recommended

"...There have been a handful of musicals about the American Civil War, but probably never one as eye-opening, entertaining, or emotionally powerful as The Civility Of Albert Cashier, the truth-is-stranger-than fiction Civil War musical now enthralling audiences at Burbank’s Colony Theatre."

Stage Raw - Recommended

"...Deratany’s book makes modest adjustments to the documented history of Cashier, but in many ways honors what is known about him. Albert Cashier shared very little about his childhood and suffered from dementia at the end of his life, shown on stage with vivid flashbacks to the war that leave him disoriented and distressed."
