Praise for driving in circles
“There are times…when words burst out of Jay Eddy in such a headlong torrent that they seem to be racing one another to the end of the sentence. And there are times when the words emerge very slowly and deliberately, as if Eddy wants to underscore the effort it’s taken to translate this raw and wrenching story into theatrical terms. At either tempo, Eddy is a fiercely compelling performer. And Driving in Circles is a remarkable achievement.” - Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe
“Eddy is an assured performer, alternately enraged, playful, and reflective, and their songwriting, orchestrations, and emotive voice make for as enjoyable a night of musical theater as you’re likely to experience this or any other year.” - Mike Hoban, Theater Mirror
“Now here is something refreshingly different. Directed with energizing flair by Sam Plattus…Driving in Circles is essentially an emotionally-charged concert road trip through…events that have shaped Eddy’s life. It is powerful, sad, and disturbing at times, but is also hopeful, charming and lighthearted on this unpredictable road to healing.” - The Sleepless Critic
