"Many people grapple with their identity, but few express their frustration as memorably and comically as the women in the late Wendy Wasserstein’s nostalgic play The Sisters Rosensweig."

 "A strong debut for a welcome new theatre company"
 "The company says its vision is to 'illuminate humanity through the Jewish perspective" And it has certainly chosen a play that has the identical aim".
 "Sherman's off beat humour marries perfectly with Cadeau's unique gift for characterization".
 "Cadeau's performance offers all the aspects of woman: mother, child, wife, nurturer, destroyer, creator".

 "Lally Cadeau….a KNOCKOUT"

 "Cadeau successfully and skillfully mines Sherman's script for every ounce of humour and humanity that is hidden there…."
 "An impressive fit"
 "Rose…played with deft skill by Lally Cadeau"
 "…a gifted actress."
 "Rather than try to explain why Toronto needs a Jewish theatre company, artistic directors Avery Saltzman and David Eisner have wisely chosen to say it with Rose, and thanks to Leblanc and Cadeau, they've said it very well."
