“Winning and warm… Suburb
is a sweet, old-fashioned take on the charms and travails of exurban
life… a wry but enthusiastic celebration of a typical American
experience.” —Donald Lyons, New York Post
“The hand-wringers have wondered whether
musical comedy can ever again attract the great comedic talents
that it drew in its Golden Age, when it offered wider popular and
material rewards. David Javerbaum, it delights me to say, is just
such a talent, a top-flight lyricist with a gift for complex wordplay
and a sweet regard for the sentimental strengths of the musical
form… this enchanting new musical bustles with energy, charm
and heart. It’s the most enjoyable new musical I’ve
seen this season.” —Adam Feldman, Broadway.com
“Suburb pulls off the nearly
impossible task of crossing over into another audience (mine) that
wouldn’t normally bite. An impressive feat, to be sure. I’m
in one seat, surprised at my own enjoyment… in the other sits
my friend, quietly identifying with the onstage couple as she plans
her imminent relocation to the ‘burbs. At the end of the night,
everyone goes home happy.” —Jeremiah Kipp, Matinee Magazine
“Suburb
is super! The songs are sprightly, spirited, loving and buoyant…
you must go see this show.” —David F. Richardson, WOR
Radio
