“And the battle is on, enacted by a cast that’s a virtual Who’s Who of Boston acting talent, including Aimee Doherty, Kerry A. Dowling, Jennifer Ellis, Will McGarrahan, Billy Meleady, Sam Simahk, and the one and only Kathy St. George. She stops the show with a hilarious tap number (created by ace choreographer Ilyse Robbins) during which St. George removes one veil after another and tosses them into the air, Salome-style.” - Don Auction, Boston Globe
“The SpeakEasy Stage cast is collectively both vibrant and brilliant and, thanks to the expert staging by Daigneault and choreography by Ilyse Robbins, is allowed to showcase their instrumental musical versatility throughout the musical in unfettered fashion.” - Kevin T. Baldwin, METRMAG
“Master choreographer Ilyse Robbins has designed playful, effective moves for the nimble cast that are both functional ... and wildly adorable (Kathy St. George’s tap dance is a show-stopping knockout)."
“ - Shelley A. Sackett, Theater Mirror
"Splendid! ...a fresh, funny, and deeply moving production [that is also] an intimate celebration of theater as community As both the current Mrs. Curtin and Kitty, Kathy St. George is a whirling dervish of delight. She plays the accordion with aplomb and is splendiferous in a tap number, with crackerjack choreography by Ilyse Robbins that has the pint-sized performer humorously removing one after another of the famed seven veils."
- R. Scott Reedy, Broadway World
"Choreographer Ilyse Robbins provides a rich variety of Irish dancers that reflect the exuberance of Dublin." - Jules Becker, South End News
