Fleet, kinetic, seamless and jaunty, you are never lost, quite the contrary- you are happily caught up in the spectacle and sweeping story. "Craig Thornton, WWNYTV.com
"By the end, you may find yourself longing for Classical Theater of Harlem to tackle Dumas’s two sequels next." Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Times
"Catherine Bush’s new adaptation favors a light touch... No five pages of the novel can deliver as many laughs as Bush’s script can in five minutes."James MacKillop, Syracuse New Times
"...this new version of "Musketeers" infuses the classic tale with a fresh commercial sensibility...Catherine Bush's script improves the flow and adjusts common conventions of the times ... to sync with more modern sensibilities. The result: she creates a spirited yet tender brotherhood that enhances the "all for one, one for all" theme that's made this tale beloved for generations."Linda Lowen, syracuse.com
