"Cuffling is charming...magic in the characterizations...the aging nudist vegetarian, for example." - The Georgia Straight
"Excellent...Cuffling makes George's grief over the loss of innocence match our own." - Vancouver Courier
" ...Consumate adaptation." Geist Magazine
WANG DANG DOODLE
- THE HARLEM MUSICAL -
"As contagious as a church giggle..." - Vancouver Province
"Get down and get jumpin'..gently sly, talent laden entertainment with a capital "E"..." - West End Times

"Fast paced, hilariously funny..." - Surrey Leader
"Great music, strong script - a great bet for a night out." - Vancouver Courier
ALL GROWN UP
"It will leave you be-bop do-wopping all the way home" - Richmond News
"Director and co-creator Mildiner offers a fine showcase for his singers, finding any number of clever ways into the songs and sculpting the showcase for their comedic talents. Mildiner shapes what in lesser hands would just be a string of songs into a show both funny and endearing. Get down, dooby-do down to see it!" - Vancouver Sun
"Brings the era back to life with a clever, well-polished production. Highly recommended." - Times Colonist
"Sprightly humour - this is one fine evening." - The Calgary Sun
DEBT - THE MU$ICAL
"...In need of only minor tweaking to make it the kind of politically charged cabaret so popular in Vancouver as a counterpoint to the surgary-sweet stuff we swallow as musical theatre."
From Critic's "Top Ten" of the Year:
"Leslie Mildiner and Todd Butler crafted a revue so tuneful that this cynical show, about our willingness to assume staggering personal debt, needs little work to be a permanent part of Canadian cabaret." - Vancouver Sun

Comments by U.S. Theatres:
"...Highly engaging. Much more than simply a study of one historical figure. I was very touched by it. " - Geva Theater Centre, Rochester NY
"...Easy to see why it's received so much attention. The play has intensified my interest in Brooks even more. " - Yale University Theatre
" This unique portrayal of Louise's later life was fresh and illuminating...key moments with Charlie Chaplin particularly haunting." - Trinity Rep. Theatre. R.I
