Or do I mean acid reflux? In any case, it’s not easy to swallow." Ben Brantley for New York Times
"In the end, the show is a harmless diversion. But this is Broadway. 'It Shoulda Been You' shoulda been better." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News
"These talented, hard-working actors are a joy to watch, and almost make up for the drecky writing. Almost." Elisabeth Vincentelli for New York Post
"It is also very adeptly handled in both the writing and the performances, transforming standard sitcom fare into a rollicking farce with a heart-warming message." Roma Torre for NY1
"Though the cake is stale, they decorate it well. It shoulda been better but it coulda been worse." Adam Feldman for Time Out New York
"Even if you see many of the jokes coming a long way off, the sheer talent on display in "It Shoulda Been You" is worth snagging an invitation to this comically inventive wedding." Jennifer Farrar for The Associated Press
"It’s the sort of show that practically redefines the term 'guilty pleasure." Frank Scheck for The Hollywood Reporter
"With impeccable instincts for finding their laughs, Hyde Pierce and his terrific ensemble players make this hokum seem terribly funny." Marilyn Stasio for Variety
Wedding bells are ringing and the families involved are none too happy about it. Rebecca Steinberg is about to marry the love of her life Brian Howard and while they see past their differing religions (she's Jewish, he's Catholic), yet Rebecca's overbearing mother Judy, the terrifying yet somehow lovable matriarch of the Steinberg clan and mother of the groom Georgette, a WASP who likes her cocktails, will stop at nothing to see the demise of their children's partnership.
Amidst hatching plans and coups, constant bickering and boiling tensions on the big day, it's up to the bride's cool-headed sister Jenny to keep things on an even keel. But when an old flame shows up unexpectedly, the maid of honour faces a crisis of her own…
