​“NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 is one of the finest musical theater productions I’ve ever witnessed. […] The music direction approaches perfection. […] These actors don’t just sing beautifully – they truly inhabit the characters. […] You can feel the joy of the players performing songs they clearly love. [...] A tip of the ushanka (Russian fur hat) to musical director Matt Deitchman and conductor/pianist Charlotte Rivard-Hoster.”
