“[O]n the surface, the York Theatre Company’s engaging and very promising new musical is about one Manhattan couple’s housing decision. On all the important levels, it’s about the courage to make change.” —Anita Gates, The New York Times  

“What makes this tale… so compelling is that the music is richly expressive, at turns plaintive and sweetly lyrical, then raucous and vibrant, and the lyrics inventive and visual. It’s fair to say Javerbaum is that rarest of lyricists, a poet who avoids clichés and hones in with pinpoint accuracy on what is truest and most meaningful about the apparently mundane.” —Tony Lewis, The Buffalo News

“Cohen’s music is melodic. Javerbaum’s lyrics are fresh and non-aggressively literate. It’s a new creative team to be warmly welcomed… Theirs is not a clichéd view of maligning the suburbs, but rather a celebration of the subject – sans sentiment and with a clear-eyed wit… The role of the loudmouth Rhoda is a wonderful creation. It’s the bright bow on this small but charming gift of a show.”
—Karl Levett, Backstage
