"This wild, wicked show is not just a screamfest after all; it’s a pretty good piece of theater!" - The New York Times
"Play Dead is a solidly crafted, sensationally entertaining Off-Broadway shockfest!" - The Wall Street Journal "Robbins is a consummate showman" - New York Magazine "If there's one thing more fun than a haunted house, it's a haunted theater" - Variety "The creaky, homegrown quality of Robbins’s illusions is what gives the show its charm" - The New Yorker "You may find yourself nervously whistling in the dark at "Play Dead," the fiendishly frightening but playful spookfest devised by Todd Robbins and Teller" - New York Post "Our smoothly loquacious host guides us with aplomb through the macabre histories of violent murderers and flimflamming mediums." - TimeOut NY "An affordably priced must-see, it’s truly unlike anything that has graced the stage in ages." - DreadCentral "One of the most exciting nights of theatre I've had in recent memory" - Broadway Doctor "By turns darkly comic, pleasurably creepy, and genuinely scary, Play Dead is a wildly entertaining ride." - NYTheatre.com "What makes the play triumph over your reactions is the careful attention to detail, audience participation, and the blurred line between what is perceived to be real and unreal." - Woman Around Town "PLAY DEAD is like being inside a living magic trick. Though this time when the lights go out, you’re the one who disappears…" - Fangoria "PLAY DEAD is one of the best live shows I’ve ever been to, and it is THE show to bring a date. Win on all fronts." - Vlad Kraven "I was seriously amazed; I was amused; and we are still talking about it. I very much recommend checking it out." - Morbid Anatomy "So while Play Dead makes its audiences laugh and scream with terror and delight, there’s also a subtle and crucially important message creeping through: Beware." - The Spook Racket "Play Dead is one of the best live shows you'll ever see, and it is THE show to bring a date. Win on all fronts." - Examiner
