“Whisper House turns out to be quite an emotional show, thanks to the resonance of young [Leo] Spiegel’s performance, the strength of the relationship built here with [Kate] Nawrocki, and the honesty and simplicity of [Karmann] Bajuyo’s work...there are moments in Whisper House that absolutely had me in the heart.”
“Whisper House is at once spooky and sweet, whimsical and macabre, ironic and touching.”
“Ideally realized...stylishly macabre...the intimacy, raw truth and knowing style of Chicago’s Black Button Eyes production will be hard to beat.”
“4 Stars Our of 4...There is so much to love in this show: the singable tunes tautly batoned by Micky York and his onstage band, the period costumes by Rachel M. Sypniewski, the excellent acting.”
“Whisper House is a 2020 must see.”
