“Bishop gives us a nakedly silly and relentlessly convoluted murder mystery plot with twist piled on twist till you have to give way and start laughing at the silliness… it is hugely enjoyable.”
Village Voice

Chicago Critic
"Lorenz’s delightful music and lyrics elevate the book magically. So integrated is his 40s-era score into this radio play, it’s easy to forget it was never originally there."

Become Part of the Legacy: Season 61 Subscription
"A lovely stage recreation of the movie classic, filled to the brim with instant recalls to the visuals and sounds that generations have long fondly cherished. "
Broadway World
"Bring[s] us inside the head of an exceptional outsider who is also unyieldingly one of us. Don’t think for a second this is an after-school special, though special The Curious Incident certainly is. It may in the end be too sentimental to qualify as highbrow — but it’s brilliant nonetheless.​
Deadline
“What’s so moving about the production, pierced with dark humor and terrible suffering, is the understanding that individuals can alter their destiny. That makes Bill W. and Dr. Bob both inspiring and remarkable.. but the play’s thrust is to spread a message of hope, in a strong theatrical vehicle—a reminder that there is power in community.”
