"Peter Mills may be the cleverest new songwriter on the New York theatre scene. His lyrics often leave me shaking my head with envy." – Stephen Schwartz

“Mills' gift for infectious melodies and his singular brand of super-smart word play make him a realistic successor to the mantle of Stephen Sondheim." – Theatermania.com
