“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
"a love letter to marginalized people everywhere regardless of age, sex or culture.”

“This [Mary and Max] has
restored my faith in theatre…
I love the score.”

“Nothing accidental about Mary and Max’s success at Theatre Calgary…
A fantastic
score.
— BroadwayWorld
"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."
​
- David Rabinowitz, Nightlife Exchange.com
"Given his songwriting prowess, this show
can't land in
New York soon enough!"
- Stephen Mother, Broadwayworld.com
“...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.”

- Playbill
“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
"This is first-rate work, a premium blend of energy, talent, and theatrical genius
which begins with the work of
Bobby Cronin."
- The Herald
"The songs are passionate and powerful in a take-no-prisoners way that will
knock your
socks off”
-Rob Lester, Cabaret Scenes
