Reviews for Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven (TCG Edition)

""A vibrant and expansive comic drama... Prepare to be surrounded -- and, ultimately, to surrender. It wasn't long before I succumbed to the surging vitality and diversity of its wayward throng of lost souls. Guirgis makes sure that every person onstage is filled with the contradictions that are part and parcel of being human."" -- ""New York Times"" ""Bursting with emotional life. The characters' rich humanity comes through loud and clear onstage, forcing us to confront a reality we might otherwise choose to avoid."" -- ""Hollywood Reporter"" ""Halfway Bitches is not only worth your time, but leaves you wanting more.""-- ""TheaterMania"" ""Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven, Guirgis's rough-cut gem of a new play, is rich with revelation & barbed empathy."" -- ""New Yorker"" ""The funniest, saddest play of the year, with at least a dozen characters who go straight to your heart... A female Iceman Cometh for this century."" -- ""The Wrap""
