REVIEWS
" simultaneously nutty and witty with a philosophical message that never gets in the way of the laughs it's impossible not to like a show whose opening number includes Hitler and Einstein joining voices in the Arlen-Koehler standard 'Let's Fall in Love" ~ Anita Gates, The New York Times
"Panitch's screwball metaphysical comedy has an undeniable huckster charm, as well as crackling performances and a handful of wickedly funny punch lines" ~ Mitch Montgomery, BackStage
"Think of George Bernard Shaw's Don Juan in Hell starring Sid Caesar With its heart in the kind of smart, irreverent sketch comedy Steve Allen used to do, and its head in a struggle for the soul of a good man, Hell - Paradise Found is a bona fide entertainment with ideas " ~ The Los Angeles Times
