"Judith Ivey delivers a tour de force performance." - Jacques le Sourd, Gannett Newspapers

"A fascinating reflection on politics, art and truth." - Fintan O'Toole, Daily News

"Pushy, drawling, grating, tangy, challenging, chastened, and laced with grief, Judith Ivey runs away with the first act. Martin Sherman has given this character an irreverent wit and gift for truth telling that wash over us like a refreshing wave." - Francine Russo, The Village Voice

"Flawless cast, deft direction." - Sam Whitehead, Time Out New York

2 PIANOS, 4 HANDS

Written and Performed by Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt

Directed by Gloria Muzio

At the Promenade Theatre

"A hot ticket. Performers Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt tickle both the ivories and considerable laughter in their delightful semi-autobiographical comedy about growing up with classical music. A major coast-to-coast success in Canada, their irresistible two-man show deserves to be a big hit here, too. Crisply directed by Gloria Muzio, and enhanced by sensitive lighting from Tharon Musser, Two Pianos, Four Hands is performed with style and no small amount of grace." — Michael Sommers, The Star-Ledger

RICKY JAY & HIS 52 ASSISTANTS

Written and Performed by Ricky Jay

Directed by David Mamet

Scenic Design by Kevin Rigdon
Costume Design by Alan Bilzerian
Lighting Design by Jules Fisher
Production Stage Manager Matthew Silver
Press Representative Richard Kornberg

Sponsored in part by AT&T Foundation.

"Ricky Jay is a genius. A glorious and grand illusion." - Clive Barnes, New York Post

"Enthralling. Tickets to this already sold-out show have become the most coveted in town. One has the feeling of being less in a theater than in the apartment of a new, mildly eccentric friend who has brought you up to demonstrate aspects of a beloved hobby. The wall between performer and audience seems truly nonexistent." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"Dextrous, funny and entirely elegent. If wonder is truly the beginning of wisdom, then Ricky Jay & His 52 Assistants is the smartest show in town." - Jay Cocks, Time Magazine

"To say Ricky Jay has an 'ability to control cards,'… is like saying Horowitz had a knack for pressing piano keys real fast or Baryshnikov has an ability to control his body. Virtuosity - the general article - goes so far beyond mechanics and nerve connections that technical considerations are inseparable from those of beauty." - Linda Winer, Newsday

"Loh has an engaging presence. She is attractive, personable and expressively witty. Her big-city savvy says it all." - Robert L. Daniels, Robert L. Daniels, Variety

"Loh is an aggressively funny chronicler of the wounded pride. Her phrases are frequently delicious, and her stories so well observed that at times they are riotously funny." - Laurie Winer, Los Angeles Times
