“Swear to god! THE DEVIL’S WIFE’s wickedly good … Sssizzling! … Scores high on all fronts — Tom Jacobson’s witty script (with a message) … Go see if THE DEVIL’S WIFE will make you a believer in God. Or the devil?” —Gil Kaan, Broadway World

“Wow! A devilishly entertaining mix of chuckles and chills.” —Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA

“Bitingly funny and bordering on wickedly, slyly inappropriate. Monumentally charming.” —Travis Michael Holder, Ticket Holders LA
