"Nyswaner's writing is clever and his characters are both devastating and hilarious. The play zips along efficiently, due in no small part to the superior cast." - Sam Whitehead, Time Out New York

"Slick and audience-winning. Mr. Nyswaner has the talent to catch an audience on a gut level, the instinct to draw compassion out of contrivance, the deftness to reverse stereotypes by digging down for complicated contradictory responses and the sleight-of- hand to play tricks with an audience's predispositions and assumptions." - Alvin Klein, The New York Times

"Marisa Tomei has a big, riveting presence. When she walks with purpose, you don't need a close-up of her feet to know that Julia's stiletto heels are dangerous. Ellen McDuff is terrifically attractive as Max. Dan Moran is excellent. There's not a weak performance in the cast." - Vincent Canby, The New York Times

"The production has an exceptional cast under the direction of Scott Ellis. Marisa Tomei exhibits a great gift for comic insolence and raw sexiness." - David Patrick Stearns, USA Today

"Dazzling...impeccable! Eric Overmyer operates with total and daring confidence." - Clive Barnes, New York Post

"Scott Ellis has staged this with an impressive understanding of the play's rather subtle tone of voice, and with a craftiness and professionalism that can only be called beautiful." - New York Law Journal

"Director Steve Kaplan clearly has a knack for this kind of comedy, and Sandra Tsing Loh, who writes with a sharp ear for dialogue, delivers the goods admirably. One need not possess Loh's unique gene structure to clearly see all our families in her wonderfully observant performance piece." - Harry Forbes, Time Out New York

"Writer and performer Sandra Tsing Loh gives a well-crafted performance and finely spun text." - Howard Waxman, Variety

"In Aliens in America, Sandra Tsing Loh's wistful, comic solo piece, she sustains the electrically wide-eyed gaze of someone watching a car crash." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
