"With Mark Lamos' lovingly scrupulous revival, this majestic work exhilarates, titillates and terrifies all at once. A great cast in a splendid production." - David Cote, Time Out New York

"Alice is back in New York in Mark Lamos' ripping new revival and - guess what? - she turns out to be a lot of fun. An ideally cast production, starring Richard Thomas and Laila Robins, brings out the sparkle in Mr. Albee's tale. An infectiously high time and a scintillating production." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"A deliciously stylish production! A bundle of philosophical dynamite! Tiny Alice holds the stage and our necks with the old-time thrill of melodrama! Thank you Second Stage Theatre!" - Linda Winer, Newsday

"Garry Hynes's likable Second Stage revival of Crimes arrives just in time. One of the best performers working on the New York stage, Amy Ryan sexily struts around the stage with great entitlement. " - Jason Zinoman, Time Out New York

"The Irish director Garry Hynes proves herself to be as comfortable in Dixie as she is on the Emerald Isle with this sparkling revival. The terrific cast embrace the roles with vivid affection and spot-on comic timing." - The New Yorker

"Crimes still rings true enough to draw that dark, heart-deep laughter that might turn into tears any second. It's a pleasure to find so many talented young actresses on a single stage." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
