"...Stephen Karam's spellbinding and intriguing comedy drama The Humans...a rich and rewarding work about fear and anxiety...an exceptional cast who deliver realistic, heart-wrenching and humorous performances....set around a seemingly simple Thanksgiving family dinner...all six characters reveal secrets as their vulnerabilities are exposed and their deepest fears inch closer to reality.... focuses on the horrors of human behavior and the fleeting American Dream. ...The national tour cast is excellent and presents a realistically cohesive family unit. ...Joe Mantello's direction beautifully balances the humor and drama of the play...a thought-provoking study of one family at various stages of crisis that will most likely spark conversation, debate and analysis. It also beautifully shows the ways people cope with reality and how they navigate through the disappointments of life. You will most likely also see yourself, or people you know, in the characters Karam has crafted and the obstacles and setbacks they face....... " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"..But ultimately, it’s Thomas’ portrayal as dad that anchors the proceedings... There’s a suggestion of love that always surfaces among the family, where any tragedy is overcome when the Blakes help each other, and it’s that unspoken feeling of hope, no matter how slim, that leaves the theatre with you..." -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
