Published Reviews

"Anyone who has had a job that underutilizes his or her skills will sympathize with the receptionist in the highly imaginative spoof of a musical. Masi Asare (music and lyrics) and Brooke Pierce (book) inject wit and winks to keep the plot moving... Sympathy Jones showcases a great deal of talent."

"It's nice to have a story about a girl written by women, for women's voices. It's fun, it's silly, it's empowering. It's all the good things that we want."

Kate Shindle (star of the premiere production) in BroadwayWorld

"This is such talented work... a wonderfully funny idea."

Lynn Ahrens, Broadway lyricist and bookwriter
