**Best of 2012: Time Out New York, New York Times, New York Magazine, New York Post**
“5 Stars (out of 5)…Dave Malloy’s Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 feels like a party from start to end: lively, intelligent and utterly engrossing…it glows with hospitality…The dazzlingly variegated score—which covers musical terrain from folk songs through rock, R&B and house music—captures their story in stirring and surprising ways.” -Time Out New York
“4 Stars (out of 4)…Much like the celestial body of its title, the new pop opera Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 has appeared out of nowhere to brighten the theatrical season. Instead of flashy ads and overhyped stars, this thrilling new show relies on ambition, ingenuity, craft and heart. Are you paying attention, Broadway?” -New York Post
