“Benjamin keeps things bubbling nicely, with matters growing funnier rather than the opposite. She is abetted by director Marc Bruni, who keeps serving up jokes and sight gags. Bruni…has devised a brandy-delivery system of increasing complexity that received well-earned cheers at the performance attended. For those who appreciate the finer things, though, Nell Benjamin’s Explorers Club is deliciously daffy and downright dandy.” - Huffington Post

“In her hijinks-happy cocktail, "The Explorers Club," Nell Benjamin follows this recipe: To a starchy bunch of science geeks bemoaning the worst barkeep in London, add a plucky adventurer and her discovery, a trouble-making tribesman. Then shake, stir, serve in an eye-catching vessel and brace for laughter. Credit Mark Bruni's assured direction, a bit of impressive physical comedy that gets a workout in the second act, and an ace ensemble led by Westfeldt.” - Daily News

“Helmer Marc Bruni mows down these poseurs with a sterling cast of thespians who can deliver an idiotic line with an elegant sneer and perfect enunciation.” - Variety

“…an ace cast hell-bent on ham. As a sweet summer concoction, this one goes down easy and gets you happy.” - Time Out New York

“The director, Marc Bruni, has assembled an accomplished cast!” - The New York Times
