Critical Reaction

"The show is filled with flashes of dark, hip humor that probably defied the expectations of its day... a study of human nature at its most fallible and fragile depicted through the antics of anthropomorphized animals."
– The Chicago Reader

"For being essentially a cartoon about a cockroach and an alley cat, Archy & Mehitabel is actually pretty deep. ....Optimism is a theme that pervades the piece, but in a particularly interesting way. ....The punchy dialogue is what unsurprisingly makes it work."
– TheaterJone

"A skillfully woven series of songs and sketches."
– The Evening Independent
