REVIEWS:

"Beautiful in both emotional depths and a triumph at the end... There are no heavy tragedies here, just the walk through the stages of getting over a sad breakup and, hopefully, coming out the other side with a whole, if slightly more sensitive, skin... a lovely walk through our lovely New York City, despite the sad raindrops that fall throughout."

 Broadway World

"Romantic... A wistful work... Yeston's background in the musical theater certainly comes through in the sense of character and the suggestions of stories in the songs."
