"Applauding the set, clapping when an actor enters the stage, and the obligatory standing ovation are among my biggest pet peeves on Broadway, but they all seem perfectly understandable when it comes to 'The Cottage'."
- CitiTour
"The play is a sensational, feminist twist on a classic British period drama that features knockout performances, melodramatic reveals, and some seriously outrageous one-liners"
- Entertainment Weekly
"Can you see some of the jokes coming a mile away with your eyes closed? Sure. But you'll still laugh."
- New York Stage Review
"In the end, 'The Cottage' is about Sylvia opening her eyes to her relationships with men. But the moment that sticks out is the hilarious sight of Sylvia plugging her nose with an old-timey phone receiver. Moments like that make 'The Cottage' a Broadway funhouse."
- New York Theatre Guide
"What a wonderful thing it is to know that when this summer's heat becomes just a little too much, there's a play running on Broadway that goes down like a cold glass of lemonade."
- Theatermania
