"Fantastic. Enchanting.

A richly drawn and thoroughly absorbing look at the women in Disney's ink and paint department as they crunch to finish Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Fairest may not offer a happily ever after, it instead provides a deft mix of humor and psychological drama inflected by its historical specificity, and it keeps surprising the audience right through its striking ending." -Thinking Theater

​

"Excellent. Fascinating. Provocative.

The show provides a mirror to many of the problems and expectations in the workforce today, augmented by a disdainful attitude towards women. The Fairest isn’t an indictment of Walt Disney or the studio, per say, but it functions as a safe place to air out our current angst." -Reviews Off Broadway
