Portland Press Herald, February 21,2005
"...it is a sweet little gem. Director Brian Allen has once again assembled a cast and pit band that will knock your socks off." "This role seems written for Timothy Bate who does some of his best work to date as the kind, dreamy, but troubled Alfie." "But the stunning thing about the show is the well-prepared ensemble cast which features some of southern Maine's best vocal talent. It's hard to place one above the other since each performer also brings warmth, depth & personality to their characters."

The Portland Phoenix
"The young Good Theater has quickly become a winsome, exuberant, and unpretentious addition to Portland's best professional companies. Their production of this award-winning musical is so fluid, well-paced, and seamlessly charming that it's easy to forget the one proscenium as its players bustle within their own in St. Imelda's." "Director Brian Allen has assembled a singularly excellent group of actors - impressive not only for their individual talents but for their remarkable, hand-in-glove coherence as a cast - and he moves them about the space of the St. Lawrence with an unerring eye." "Timothy Bate's Alfie is simply superlative; his humble enthusiasm is infectious and the trauma of his inner troubles delicately wrought." "Graham Allen has a sinewy candor, and it's a joy to watch him flex his unaffected, working-class masculinity." "Kelly Caulfield's Adele is radiant with her stunning voice and endearing balancing act between ingénue and more worldly girl, and Amy Roche as Alfie's sister Lily brings wit, compassion, and a great range to a meaty comic role"

The Forecaster, February 23, 2005
"...a contemporary musical of unusual power..." "Imagination and stagecraft collide head-on with reality in Dublin, Ireland, in a modern American musical of unusual power & persuassion." "Timothy Bate delivers an impressive performance in the title role, and he's ably supported by a cast of 15 under the direction of Good Theater co-founder Brian P. Allen." "Good Theater deserves raves for selecting this remarkably moving Off-Broadway musical drama. Plus, the company delivers an outstanding, memorable and profoundly thought-provoking production that ought to be on the must-see list for any Maine theater enthusiast."
