Review: THE RESERVOIR at Geffen Playhouse Gil Cates Theater Photo
Review: THE RESERVOIR at Geffen Playhouse Gil Cates Theater
by Tracey Paleo - Jun 29, 2025

What did our critic think of THE RESERVOIR at Geffen Playhouse Gil Cates Theater? “Well, the Geffen sure knows their audience,” remarked my guest at the media preview of, THE RESERVOIR.  And I’d have to agree.  Between the spontaneous audience call backs, guffaws, tears, and chant-alongs that happened much in the second act, it’s probably safe to say, the show’s a hit.
