"...Nu Sass encourages marginalized genders, and the all-female-identifying casting is adroit and refreshing. This Rosencrantz reminds us that Stoppard’s writing encompasses multiple interpretations — and is always alive with his incomparable wit."

MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended

"...As effervescent as Cholewczynski and Dixon are, that is something of which to be be aware—and a passing familiarity with the events of “Hamlet” also couldn’t hurt. Still, if you are willing to give yourself over to an offbeat theatrical experience, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” is an enormously funny show that might even make you think differently about Shakespeare’s supporting characters."

BroadwayWorld - Recommended

"...There are many themes in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, but two that come up again and again are fate and uncertainty. At one point, the Player says, “Life is a gamble, at terrible odds–if it was a bet, you wouldn’t take it.” If this, paired with a coin flip always fated to be ‘heads,’ makes you smile rather than sigh, odds are that this production is a gamble worth taking."
