“Gary Ramsey offered a tour de force as Bum Phillips…this will undoubtedly make for a fine evening’s entertainment.” – The New York Times

“A new standard for the future of the art form…Stopschinski’s beautiful ‘Copeland-esque’ music hits right between the uprights” – Game Changer Magazine

“The quirky and earnest production by Monk Parrots…is like biting into a deep-fried madeline.” – Texas Monthly

“This is not your typical night at the opera…unique, audacious, quirky, a proud underdog striving to succeed on its own terms.” – USA Today Sports

“You’re in for a treat ’cause there’s a lot of talent on view in this production…The music by composer Peter Stopschinski is stunning…it’s bound for even bigger venues and accolades.” – The Artsy Voyager

“Ramsey’s charisma, talent, and range pay tribute to Bum while also making him feel like a fully realized character. The music, from Peter Stopschinski also shines.“
– Letters from the Mezzanine

“Charlotte Griffin’s choreography and Luke Leonard’s direction score…visual and cerebral delight.” – Theatre Reviews Limited

“The adrenaline-fueled fervor of professional sports merges with the dizzying passion of opera, creating perfect harmony.” – TheaterMania

“We applaud this production. The stodgy, traditional opera world would be wise to take notice of Bum Phillips.” – Maxamoo
