"An immensely enjoyable evening... This is the kind of show where the audience soaks up all the young talent, forgives any rough edges and appreciates that this is the kind of crew capable of rejuvenating the city’s storefront theater scene just when it needs them the most."
- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
 
"I’ve seen several versions of Merrily over many years (all of them in Chicago), and this is by far the most effective [...] this is storefront Sondheim at its best." - Albert Williams, Chicago Reader

"A reminder of everything that live theatre is, or should be, all about... Blank Theatre Company has conjured up a poetic miracle of a musical production, with hardly a wrong note at any moment from beginning to end, and with a wonderful surprise at its conclusion.  In a long lifetime of theatre-going, I don’t think I have ever seen a better or more heartfelt small-theatre production, nor even a better musical of any size." - Michael Antman, Chicago Theatre Review
