“It may open a
new musical era
because what is offered here for eyes, ears, and heart is a musical, but so atypically different, refreshingly modern-- just authentic.”
- Austrian Newspaper Kurier

"Mr.Cronin's handling of time involves dazzling jump cuts, swirling dream-like sequences and symbolic references, with daring temporal experimentalism intelligently anchored by the superb performances of the cast. His time traveling allows his songs to engage with a vast range of issues - suicide, gay men married to women, the conflicting demands of art and family, a woman's biological clock - all of which demand and receive psychologically convincing interpretations."

"Given his songwriting prowess, this show
can't land in

“...brilliantly reflected [ in the ] composition of Bobby Cronin, is heartbreaking as well as heartwarming and it is very much surprising how much you feel, suffer and laugh with these odd characters. I am looking forward to having Mary and Max in our theatre taking audiences into their world, a humorous-melancholy parable of the beauty and ugliness of life.”

“It's a high spirited, totally delightful flight of fantasy”
— Calgary Herald
"His lyrics are very clever, intelligent and funny, and also has such a strong sense of storytelling, or carrying a thought/emotion through to get somewhere higher. And the music is just gorgeous...to be honest, I couldn't believe what he was getting to come out of the performers' mouths."
- Christopher Gattelli, Tony Award Winner
