"Mighty music-making [...] when it sings, it really swings." —The New York Times "It is so rare for a play about the inner lives of black women to center on their intimacy and not world politics or degradation that the very fact of George Brant’s loving two-character script is refreshing." —The New Yorker "A spectacular show [...] if much of the world has forgotten Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Marie Knight - and, certainly, a lot of us have - playwright George Brant makes an intimate yet spectacular case for correcting that wrong." —Newsday "Four stars [...] heavenly [...] you don’t have to be religious to know when you’re in the presence of glory." —Time Out New York |
