"A mesmerizing tour de force"

"A mesmerizing tour de force"

"Smith builds a captivating performance piece full of heart, humor and quiet heroism."

"A terrific actress in any medium."

"Let Me Down Easy is so beautifully performed, expertly put together and richly compelling in its variety of humanity."

"This rare tour of an off-Broadway hit is vibrant with life."

"Let Me Down Easy is likely to let no one down, even those fans (like me) with high expectations."
