Star Tribune - Somewhat Recommended
"...If Sass's staging does not always grab me by the seat of the pants, it is because of timing and casting. When it's working, the production is tightly wound and everything clicks. At other times, it drags, and you can see the thinking of both actors and director. This on/off quality is supposed to peel back the workings of the theater for laughs. Instead, it slows down the production that should be a tour-de-farce."

How Was The Show - Highly Recommended
"... Physical comedy is not easy, but it has to look easy or it’s just not funny. Sass has orchestrated an amazing, wonderful “mess” of a show, and assembled a cast who showed up with their own bags of tricks, including impressive skills in clowning and dance. It’s such an ensemble show, and they were all so perfectly cast, that I don’t find it necessary to single anyone out. Terrific performances—without exception."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Highly Recommended
"...Such a degree of instability can retain its tautness only through a seamless collaboration by the actors and the Jungle Theater has rallied a team of talented contributors under the direction of Joel Sass who turn the intimate space into a thriving theatrical universe, teeming with minute-to-minute disfunctionality and frustration, along with empathy and responsiveness."
