The New York Times

"Given that the main characters don't evolve much, 'Road Show' requires tour guides of the highest order. Raul Esparza, in a triumphant return to musicals (and Sondheim musicals, in particular) delivers an almost-vaudevillian turn as Wilson."

“Does ‘Road Show’ now deserve a place in the canon of American musical theater? I'll take a cue from the Supreme Court and render a narrow judgment avoiding…comparisons to Sondheim musicals with more clear and resonant narratives and memorable tunes…a delightful production in every way.”
