Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train Reviews
Washington Post- Highly Recommended
"...The good news about this revival of Guirgis’s durable 2000 script is that it finds the Tysons Corner troupe 1st Stage doing perhaps its finest work yet. Britton is part of a balanced ensemble richly inhabiting the show co-directed by 1st Stage Artistic Director Alex Levy and Juan Francisco Villa."
DCTheatreScene- Highly Recommended
"...The 'A' Train is superbly acted with finely tuned characters that are both funny and vile, especially Gomez's Valdez, who is a sniveling bully with an annoyingly pitched voice and propensity to over Ar. Ti. Cu. Late. Listening to him, at times, is like listening to nails on a chalkboard, even when he says profoundly true things: "People go through life discarding things. Tangible. And intangible."
BroadwayWorld- Somewhat Recommended
"...The play itself, written by Stephen Adly Guirgis, is relevant to today, but it is overwhelming. The themes of Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train are too many, which is part of the play's problem, and clearly not focused. The audience is essentially spoon fed many things such as the death penalty, good vs. evil, and religion. These themes could have been dealt with in a different matter in order to allow the audience to think and speculate more."
