"Passion... is the most thrilling piece of theatre on Broadway."
– New York Post



"Passion is... the most engaging new musical Broadway has had in years.... Our theatre's most provocative composer and lyricist is still reinventing the form while honoring it, still writing shows that tell haunting tales while delighting the eye and ear."
– The Wall Street Journal

"Once in an extraordinary while, you sit in a theater and your body shivers with the sense and thrill of something so new, so unexpected, that it seems, for those fugitive moments, more like life than art. Passion is just plain wonderful emotional and yes, passionate.... Sondheim's music his most expressive yet glows and glowers. Exultantly dramatic, this it the most thrilling piece of theater on Broadway."
– Clive Barnes, "The New York Times"
