Press Quotes
“Rich comic cadences … Bumbalo is a funny guy.” —Marilyn Stasio, New York Post
“Funny … Lively … Bumbalo demonstrates a healthy satiric wit, aimed at both straights and gays, and a lively sense of comic dialogue.” —Bernard Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle
“NIAGARA FALLS dares to tread in delicate areas … Bumbalo scores some sharp character comedy … the play’s overall treatment of a situation and a rejected social class who receive little ‘gay’ treatment is most welcomed.” —Nicholas de Jongh, The Guardian (London)
“Funny and incisive.” —Rob Baker, Daily News
“Bumbalo must have secretly taped parents across the country. He outdoes Neil Simon … It is a finely written work.” —John Kerr, Bay Area Reporter
“A maximum of both humor and pathos … I could have cheered.” —James M Saslow, The Advocate
“There is a basic humanity here that one finds in very few plays.” —Michael Bronski, Gay Community News
“NIAGARA FALLS is a tender, canny, and frequently hilarious comedy.” —Alan Stern, The Boston Phoenix
