"...Composer Poling gives all the ensemble members (Norah Long, Dieter Bierbrauer and Randy Schmeling round out the cast) moments to shine. The score - which ranges from pop to a smattering of hip-hop to the polka-esque "What's Your Supershark?" - is delivered brightly by a quintet led by Jason Hansen."

"...Yes, there are moments when the book and/or the lyrics feel as if they might have been ... well ... informed by other contemporary musicals like "Zombie Prom" and "Xanadu." And honestly? The trend of musicals with scores filled with homages to Other Kinds of Music is going to wear thin sooner or later. But for the here and now, "A Night in Olympus" is a witty, well-done evening of fun."

"...While I chuckled here and there, and felt my heart warmed now and then, there is not enough substance in A Night in Olympus for the show to be something to think about, not enough buoyant energy for it to elevate one's spirits, and not enough artistry for it to impress on the basis of high theatrical craft. With its clever premise and a hugely talented creative team, the potential may be there to bring this show aloft, but at this point it seems like an Olympian task."

But despite the structural flaws, the audience on opening night was very enthusiastic about the music and gave the cast a standing ovation."
