"The actors are great. The show is terrific. Go see it, if you want to see the amazing things that theatre can do." -Duncan Pflaster, broadwayworld.com
"We Call Her Benny is hard-hitting theatre...The writing is intelligent and adult...The ensemble is fine..." -Martin Denton, nytheatre.com ©2008 The New York Theatre Experience, Inc.
"[Benny]...is a strong showing from the cast and crew. [It] may touch us harshly, but it's still touching. A little jolt to the soul and the mind every now and then is not such a bad thing. Here, it's very good." -Cindy Pierre, newtheatercorps.blogspot.com
