See it if you want to see wonderful acting by seasoned professionals ... where acting is the real special effect.

"With its thin psychology, predictable structure and characters to laugh at, not with, the play serves a snoozy, somewhat bitter slice of small town life. Imagine Thornton Wilder without the radicalism, William Inge without the melancholy, Lillian Hellman without the flash."

"There are a host of seasoned actors here, including Patty McCormack, Dan Lauria, Tony Roberts, Alley Mills, and more, all of whom help breathe life into this aging comedy. But Morning's at Seven now seems so bereft of anything new to say, and so out of touch with today's America, that even its fine performances can't keep its nostalgic bubble from bursting."

It's a peerless study of hidden-in-plain sight eccentricity, focusing on elderly characters who, fearing that happiness is passing them by, find themselves acting out in unseemly fashion. Playwright Paul Osborn, a Midwesterner by birth, understood that pleasant small-town manners often hid a multitude of sorrows. "You can be alone in a lot of different ways," remarks one of the play's quartet of sisters, and Morning's at Seven knows them all.

"Pssst! If you’re looking for a top-drawer, first-rate cast of Broadway and off-Broadway vets in a five-alarm revival, have I got a show for you! It’s Paul Osborn’s 1939 classic, Morning’s at Seven."

"Such moments, big and small but mainly small, are beautifully realized in the staging by Dan Wackerman which never pushes too hard for either laughs or pathos but succeeds in producing both. The estimable ensemble works together like a well-oiled machine, with nary a weak link."

Director Dan Wackerman’s fine revival of Paul Osborn’s now classic Morning’s At Seven is quite satisfying as a production where all of the elements come together, as well as giving us a story with a deservedly happy ending.

"Under the confident direction of Dan Wackerman, a veteran cast of nine keeps the play humming and ensures the likability of each of its characters."

One of the pleasures in this latest revival of “Morning’s At Seven,” a quietly funny and surprisingly astute evergreen comedy about four aging sisters…who live cheek by jowl but don’t always see eye to eye, Is how many of the nine cast members could fit one of those “where are they now” features… [the characters they portray] begin to see each other, and themselves, in a new light.
