American Song opened last weekend to emotional standing ovations in packed out houses. This powerful new work has been resonating with audiences and critics alike.
Here’s what they’re saying:
“American Song is one of Joanna Murray-Smith’s most mature, refined and important works. Petruzzi is…so powerful and so well directed by Tom Healey.” – The Australian
“Tom Healey’s assured and well-paced direction lends the play emotional and dynamic energy…Joe Peruzzi gives a nuanced but muscular performance.”
– ★★★★, Herald Sun
“Petruzzi is impressive – especially vocally, with a perfectly observed American accent and a command of the feel and flow of Murray-Smith’s lyricism. Tragic and timely” – The Age
‘Murray-Smith is at her best here…Petruzzi’s Andy is multi-layered…Healey paces his performance to perfection.” – Stage Noise
“Joe Petruzzi commands and holds our complete attention…a commanding andextraordinary solo performance.”
– ★★★★, TheatrePeople
“Murray-Smith finds a unique quality in the slowly eroded lyricism of this play…one of [her] strongest works…[Petruzzi] displays both…affable charisma…and emotional heft.” – ★★★★, Time Out
