"This production, led by the fiercely talented director, Isaac Byrne, has a beautiful aesthetic...Although at times, Milo’s performance is a bit too sweet and measured, the facts behind the life of Nannerl and the gorgeous design make this show one to see."

"A writer has to create a plot out of life, which is often plot-less. Ms. Milo is unable to do that here, which does not stop her from plunging in to the void left by the omission of Marianna’s presence at her brother’s side on the world stage. It is a shameful loss, and Milo gets that point across in spades...While this production is not as vital as the story itself, it will nevertheless inform and possibly transform how you view not only music of old, but the present day as well."

"Throughout the piece, we are presented with many (perhaps too many) examples of how her gender prevented her from having a satisfying, creative life. The production is visually striking...The play has background music by Mozart, supplemented by original music. It made for an interesting 75 minutes, although I was left wishing there had been more biographical explication and less repetitiveness about how Nannerl suffered for her gender."

"Sylvia Milo's stunning play 'The Other Mozart' operates and succeeds on several levels...It's a life displayed in all its fullness and tragedy in a crystalline hour and 20 minutes. Milo's remarkably surefooted performance walks the line between mannered and raw. Words on a screen can't do it justice. New Yorkers, go and see 'The Other Mozart.'"

"What was so interesting about this piece was that it not only told a story that was absolutely unknown to me, but it incorporated rich and fascinating details. The staging was magnificent and ingenious with the entire play, which was enthusiastically performed by Milo, revolving around a skirt that Milo wears...The emotion that Milo puts into her performance is enthralling."

“Nannerl prances, swan-like across the stage like a music box figurine sprung to life. As she gleefully, defiantly, tramples over the garment’s layers, she is also haunted by the architectural wooden corset at its center, which threatens both her physical movement and her professional ambitions...In Milo’s captivating script, interwoven with diary entries letters from her father and brother Amadeus, Nannerl is a creature of gamine charm, grace and fortitude."

"Sylvia Milo’s luscious depiction of the life of Wolfgang Mozart’s lesser known sister Nannerl eschews the dreaded bio-adaptation problem – and it does so with class and evocative energy. In Isaac Byrne’s elegantly minimalist production, the life of Mozart’s older sister is recounted with graceful sophistication."

"'The Other Mozart' manages to be not just informative but also incredibly enjoyable. One would not have to know anything about Mozart to enjoy the piece...An exemplary piece that reminds us that when we talk about history from uncommon angles there are often gems that have been hidden."
