"With crisp direction and a talented cast who deliver genuine performances, Fountain Hills Theater has kicked off their 2024 season with an excellent production of the first play in (Neil Simon's "Eugene Trilogy"). They will follow their production of Brighton Beach Memoirs, which runs through September 1, with Biloxi Blues in November and Broadway Bound in March, with Elias Matthews, who is wonderful as Eugene, playing the role across all three plays. The actors who play Eugene's parents, brother, and aunt also play those same roles in the final play in the series. I don't know if another theatre company has produced all three plays in one season, but based on how wonderful and polished this production is, and the fact that Matthews and this cast will be portraying their characters across the three plays, it is a rare theatrical treat."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
