...not many plays manage Heidi's feat of inducing almost continuous laughter while forcing the audience to examine its preconceptions...It's the play of the season...
NY Daily News
...witty, hilarious...not just a funny play, but a wise one...I doubt we'll see a better play this season.
NY Newsday
...a wonderful and important play.
BackStage
...the writing is emotional and heartfelt, rare qualities in today's trivial theatre, and all the more extraordinary when combined with perceptive characterizations and witty dialogue.

A raucous celebration of women’s consciousness-raising, trends, flaws, and foibles, THE HEIDI CHRONICLES is a good-time performance by the spirited L.A. Theatre Works. Wasserstein’s decades-spanning coffee klatch traces a group of women from the 1960s to the present as they witness and embrace each other’s choices and their outcomes. Thankfully, Wasserstein endows her characters with enough wisdom to laugh at themselves, and the more-than-willing cast supplies a spice-rack’s worth of flavor to their roles. Sound quality is typical L.A. Theatre Works--the production sounds like a live stage play rather than a reading, though music and sound effects are a grade below the actors’ performances.
