Editorial Reviews

FEBRUARY 2014 - AudioFile

Life is finally getting back on track for Jackie after his stint in prison. He’s got his love, he’s got a job, and he’s got some friends, but he can’t quite seem to stay away from his addictions and his temper. Featuring the original Broadway cast, this live-recorded production is an amusing and emotionally engaging story about trying to step back from where life has led us. The energy and delivery of the five performers blend perfectly, and their synchronicity is impressive. One could listen to Chris Rock and Bobby Cannavale for hours with their witty dialogue and powerful chemistry. Listeners will thoroughly enjoy the keen observations, insightful commentary, and ample jokes embedded throughout the play. L.E. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
