“ . . . a love song to sport . . . Paulus’ production is beautifully constructed . . .Just as the Red Sox deserved a World Series win, so too does Boston deserve a musical to call its own.” - Boston Herald
“Johnny Baseball is wicked fun. If you like American musicals and like the pageantry, ritual and mythology of Red Sox fandom, you will love this. If you like the Sox stuff, but don’t like musicals, you’re going to have a good time too . . . - Blast magazine
