This is a pastiche score of a cavalier sort. Mr. Malloy lifts styles with such abandon, making willful shifts – from punk riffs to agitated Broadway ballads, mock-pompous recitative to gritty Russian folk songs or drinking choruses with klezmer clarinets – that you lose track of what is being appropriated and really don't care."[26] Fourth dimension Out New York gave the piece 5 out of five stars, and also included it on both critics' All-time of lists, stating "this is theater like no other in New York.

Many fans and actors were angered by this casting conclusion, as Patinkin was an older, white histrion replacing Onaodowan.
