"(Piscopo) proves himself the consummate musical theatre leading man here,
turning in an assured and likeable performance as Bill; his command of the stage is
exceptional."

"Joey Piscopo steals the show."
-Martin Denton - 1/16/07 - "Billboard"
The true scene-stealer is Piscopo, who comes armed with a terrific sense of comedic
timing."
-Christina Polizoto - 2/2/2007 - "Billboard"
"Joey Piscopo is wonderfully dynamic, reveling in the amorality of his character while
letting his façade slowly crack under Lil's influence. Bill is no Mack the Knife, and Piscopo
doesn't try to be suave or gentlemanly. Violent emotions, whether for good or bad, are
always just beneath the surface, and explode in the best possible way when he sings and
dances."
-Jena Tesse Fox - 5/12/07 - "Happy End"
"As Bill, Piscopo is alternatingly threatening and frightened. His swagger transparently
disguises the character's insecurity. He writes the character in his body language, which is
always specific, in character, and in the moment. Piscopo also directed the "heist film," a
silent-movie rendition of the gang's comical bank heist. The onscreen action is coordinated
seamlessly with live action in this clear and inventive multimedia moment."
