Bronte Sister House Party Reviews

Washington City Paper- Not Recommended

"...Ironically, by trying so hard to be smart and fun, Brontë Sister House Party ends up being exactly what it depicts at the top of the show. There’s a lot of business, a lot of effort, and a lot of good music, but hardly a moment of celebratory reverence to come by."

MD Theatre Guide- Recommended

"...When we think of Charlotte, Emily, and almost-forgotten Anne Brontë, words like “historical gravitas” and “introverted” come to mind. Party animals? Never! So the idea that these three, secluded Victorian women would host a house party night after night in their childhood home, now located in Purgatory, seems outrageous yet intriguing. In Nu Sass Productions’ presentation of “Brontë Sister House Party,” the audience is invited to join the celebration with the hopes that, this time around, they will break the Lavender Witch’s spell and reach “The Point of Celebrated Reverence.”"

DC Theater Arts- Recommended

"...Still, the admittedly gimmicky premise is intriguing; the characters, both as written and as performed, are appealingly quirky; and the musical interludes are fun. A satisfying Brontë-esque saga it’s not, but its sentiments, silliness, and celebratory aspirations have modern merit."
