“Jack shall have Jill; Naught shall go ill” promises Puck, the hobgoblin of the night, and how can things be anything but grand when Tony Award-winner Bebe Neuwirth plays Titania, the queen of the fairies, in Shakespeare’s immortal comic romp.

“This Midsummer is infused with a spirit of friendly anarchy and a FEAST OF ARRESTING IMAGERY. Tony Speciale’s staging is choreographed with DELIRIOUS ABANDON. Bebe Neuwirth is MEMORABLE for her REGAL GRACE and feline beauty, Anthony Heald gives Oberon an AUTHORITATIVE MAJESTY. Taylor Mac provides the most CONTINUAL PLEASURE as the bright-eyed and charmingly subversive Puck.” – The New York Times

“THIS IS THE STUFF THAT ENTERTAINING EVENINGS ARE MADE OF!” - Associated Press

“The eyes have it in this HIGH-SPIRITED, VISUALLY PLAYFUL PRODUCTION. Taylor Mac’s Puck is a one-man Halloween Party and Steven Skybell’s Bottom and David Greenspan’s Flute make the play, simply, well, dreamy!” – The New York Daily News

“What a pleasure to be transported to this BEGUILING, SENSUAL, LOVABLY INGENIOUS MIDSUMMER. Director Tony Speciale’s staging is SMART, MAGICAL and DELIRIOUS.” - Newsday
