“Rich comic cadences...Bumbalo is a funny guy.”
Marilyn Stasio, New York Post
"Funny... Lively... Bumbalo demonstrates a healthy
satiric wit, aimed at both straights and gays, and a lively sense of comic
dialogue.”
Bernard Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle
“NIAGARA FALLS dares to tread in delicate areas....
Bumbalo scores some sharp character comedy...the play’s overall treatment of a
situation and a rejected social class who receive little `gay’ treatment is most
welcomed.”
Nicholas de Jongh, The Guardian (London)
“Funny and incisive.”
Rob Baker, Daily News
“Bumbalo must have secretly taped parents across
the country. He outdoes Neil Simon.... It is a finely written work.”
John Kerr, Bay Area Reporter
“A maximum of both humor and pathos... I could have
cheered.”
James M Saslow, The Advocate
“There is a basic humanity here that one finds in
very few plays.”
Michael Bronski, Gay Community News
“NIAGARA FALLS is a tender, canny, and frequently
hilarious comedy.”
Alan Stern, The Boston Phoenix
