"Superb! Two hours of pulsating pleasure. The cast bubbles, preens, stomps, struts, cavorts, and, in sum, delivers on every level. Gather your family, friends, neighbors, and anyone you can find on the street who appears to be in need of a good time...and hustle on down. One hell of a lot of fun!" –Brooks Newspapers
"8-Track is an electric...energetic...powerful good time!" –The Los Angeles Times
"A wildly-exciting revelation!" –The Connecticut Post
"An infectious, joyous celebration!" –Minneapolis Star Tribune
"A baby boomer's dream come true!" –Saint Paul Pioneer Press
"Superb...first-rate...undeniably infectious!" –The Denver Post
"8-Track shakes its groove thing, yeah, yeah! A blisteringly paced production that rings a plethora of musical memory bells from bouncy Top 40 pop and ballads that have achieved immortality. A spirited and lighthearted romp through a slice of pop history!" –The Rocky Mountain News
"8-Track gives CPR to '70s music!" –Detroit Free Press
"Rousing. Mesmerizing. Rock-solid. Downright hilarious!" –The Oakland Press
"A spirited romp down memory lane! If anyone is inclined to sneer at the songs of the '70s, let it quickly be acknowledged that the decade had its share of silly songs—but it doesn’t matter. Some are done straight, some are spoofed, but all are presented with such creativity and all-round showmanship, that I simply can’t imagine anyone not having a good time. Tremendous!" –The Detroit Monitor
"A fast-paced musical romp through one of the most impassioned decades of the 20th century...the type of show that beautifully allows us 'life veterans' to relive our youth through the songs that defined our lives. It’s the 40-plus crowd who get into the show the most. They cheer, they sway in their seats, they laugh, they cry, they flick their Bics, and they giggle in not-too-low whispers from stop to finish. One can only imagine what experiences they are reliving. A non-stop song and dance extravaganza. Excellent!” –Between the Lines
"8-Track is full of driving energy, pop sweetness, and lush harmonies. One of the most melodic shows I’ve seen in a long time. A beautifully crafted show with a talented ensemble, celebrating the joy of this music." –The Pioneer Press
"A rip-roaring roller coaster of a show. 8-Track brings down the Brick House!" –Gainesville Sun
"Plain and simple downright fun. 8-Track has an amazing energy around it. Over 40 songs from the so-called forgotten decade performed with a great deal of energy, spirit, and soul. Telling a story, not with words, but with song...a must see show!" –Shepherd Express
"The opening night audience for 8-Track: The Sounds of the 70's hooted and hollered. They stomped their feet to the rhythm and sang along, before leaping into a standing ovation. It was rock-star treatment for the four-person cast. Clearly, the show struck a chord." –Kansas City Star
"8-Track is an evening of memories that had the audience on its feet, singing along, clapping, and dancing, high on the music in a way I’ve never seen." –The Wire
"8-Track brings back loads of memories. Tunes that truly make you feel like dancing. The perfect excuse for a reunion with friends." –Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"Do the hustle and get your ya-yas out! Solid and powerful...a hoot!" –Pittsburgh Travel Examiner
