Critics' Reviews
"Obviously, this is not your typical holiday show, but that works in its favor, delivering scores of irreverent laughs while skewering and satirizing the image of "good St. Nick".
- Chris Gibson, Broadway World
------------------------------------------
"... "The Eight" isn't really about Christmas at all. It's a smart, acerbic musing on scandal in a tabloid-TV world."
"... Could Geraldo Rivera ask for a better lineup? Could Nancy Grace or Harvey Levin or that "Access Hollywood" pair?"
"Obviously, "The Eight" isn't for kids (HotCity suggests it's not for anyone under 18) or the sentimental. But if you like a dash of acid in your eggnog, you'll appreciate this smart comedy. With a punch of recognition and a jab of satire, "The Eight" puts scandal-mongering in its rightful place, remote and frozen."
- Judy Newmark, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
