The New Yorker says Perfect Harmony has “an abundance of heart. This likable music-filled comedy is written and performed with an acute understanding of the anxieties and quirks of young achievers. The singing and acting are strong, the song choices hilarious.”

“Perfectly sweet. The cast is outstanding. Perfect Harmony is pure joy. It would be easy to envision this production having a Broadway address in the very near future.” -Jason S. Grossman, NYTheatre.com “Unbearably funny. Riotous. Never fails to delight.” -Matthew Murray, Talking Broadway “Talented singers, a delightful combination of silly and sophisticated humor, endearing characters, and many opportunities to find yourself laughing out loud. For an evening of wide-range entertainment, this one hits just the right note.!” “Nearly indescribable hilarity. Perfect Harmony’s extraordinary cast and impeccable script combine for a performance whose non-stop comedy must be seen to be believed.” “The vocal harmonies are undeniably impressive, and the consistently funny troupe of actors creates a true ensemble piece. It’s topical and silly and you’ll have a great evening.” “So perfectly, gorgeously wicked. Amazing cast. We will be seeing Perfect Harmony for a long time to come!”
“The Essentials takes a high school a cappella championship and turns it into winning comedy and drama. Perfect Harmony is young, exuberant, over-the-top, and at times, unexpectedly moving.” “I loved it. It’s laugh out-loud funny.” “Thoroughly entertaining. This show is a guilty pleasure. The writing is full of tiny, quick verbal surprises and original moments, and the cast is uniformly high energy.it. It’s laugh out-loud funny.” “This play nailed the earth shattering impact that (the a cappella) scene can have on a awkward teen looking for something to believe in. Thumbs up.”
“The performances are funny without being trivial; these actors can not only do comedy, but they sing and do precisely choreographed movements while singing and acting, all to the level of perfection the scene calls for. Snaps to them and everyone involved.”
To be fair, we should also print the Bad Review: “Enduring “Perfect Harmony” at the Clurman last week, I kept thinking that if Max Bialystock of “The Producers” had found this show before stumbling on “Springtime for Hitler,” he might have been spared jail time. Ghastly, superficial… one of the most trivial and tedious shows of recent memory, the show apparently trades on the assumption that an uninitiated audience will laugh at close harmony, easy listening arrangements of Def Lepard… The cast of charming mostly young actors is largely blameless.” - Christopher Byrne.
