“Partaking in an Alex and Olmsted show is being on vacation, walking down a sunny alley with the warm wind on your back, the sky a deep, deep blue. You come across a few street performers in dirty shoes that somehow make you laugh as hard as you ever have, the universe suddenly crystalizes, and you think: “O, something is happening.”
“(D)id I find myself clapping at one point for no reason except the joy of it, like a happy little seal? Yes. Yes, I did. And I’m willing to bet that you will, too.” – Bad Oracle (Click here for the full review)
“It’s brilliance and beauty and joyful nostalgia wrapped up in one charming production of perfect puppetry and old-world grace. Simple, stunning, and the uplifting experience everyone needs nowadays, Happy Birthday. Mon Ami! is extraordinary.” – Amanda Gunther, TheatreBloom (Click here for the full review)
