"Shakespeare’s classic becomes a sprightly comedy of Eros in Michael Michetti’s fanciful take on this often-performed Bard favorite. Few productions of the master’s comic romps conjure this much buoyant fun. The seamless integration of music into the mistaken-identity narrative—courtesy of Robert Oriol’s compositions, David Coleman’s song arrangements, and Christine Sang’s graceful choreography, including gymnastics—gives this rendition a musical comedy feel. The frosting on the cake is a strong emotional resonance." - Backstage.com, November 2006"A Noise Within’s designers do more with less. Sibyl Wickersheimer’s set transforms from court to forest. Angela Calin’s beautiful costumes are regal in the court scenes. Robert Oriol’s music, which turns text into song and provides underscoring, is beautiful and well performed. And the sound design, which includes subtleties like a hand breaking the surface of a stream and arms stirring the air, is cued perfectly by operator Paula Eagleman and stage manager Liza Tognazzini." - BlogCritics Magazine, October 2006
