"Rich...Vividly Evocative and Highly Recommended"-Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"Gods & Monsters merges tragedy with love and hope. It will have you asking just who the real monsters are, both in Hollywood and in the realms beyond." - Catey Sullivan, Chicago Reader

"FOUR STARS" - Paul Lisnek, "Behind the Curtain" WGNRadio.com

"Gods & Monsters is ultimately an entertaining, thought-provoking production. Every performance is fully developed and well-crafted. There is no weak link in the cast." - Adam Kaz, Third Coast Review

"'Life Upon the Wicked Stage' looks good at the Wit these days thanks to Gods and Monsters!" - Jerry Nunn, GoPride.com

"This thoughtful, provocative, and deeply moving adaptation honors its source material while offering fresh insights. The powerful performances, meticulous direction, and insightful script coalesce to create a theater experience that resonates on multiple levels, emphasizing our shared humanity and the transformative power of empathy. This production not only tells the story of James Whale but also mirrors society, highlighting the ongoing struggles and triumphs of those who dare to be different, all through the lens of Whale and Boone's evolving friendship." - Wesley David, Buzz Center Stage
