"A winning concept executed deftly with affection." - The New York Times

“Director Marc Bruni's straightup staging makes deft use of a gliding and twirling video screen for animated images and titles. Read between the punch lines and "Old Jews" has a message about humor getting us through tough times. But the show really just wants to crack audiences up — and does. What's not to like?” - Daily News

“…all of the jokes are genuinely funny and land solidly thanks to the expert timing of the cast and the admirable pacing of director Marc Bruni. “Old Jews Telling Jokes” is a pleasant, enjoyable diversion. It’s like spending an evening with your favorite funny uncle. Will it solve world peace? No, but it couldn’t hurt. ” - Backstage

“There’s an artful simplicity to helmer Marc Bruni’s minimalist staging. Well-positioned in the venerable Westside Theater, this one could run forever.” - Variety
