PHOEBE PARKER uncertified reviewer June 21, 2011
Amazing how such a simple production can be such a lovely, touching one! A beautiful story with beautiful music. And Tanya does an incredible job switching from character to character and embodying each one as fully as the next. Definitely worth seeing!! ... full review
STEPHEN GUARINO uncertified reviewer May 03, 2011
I saw this back in NYC and it was a wonderful thoughtful production. It is hard to do a one-woman show these days without a cheesiness seeping in. She was awesome too. Funny, silly, and moving. ... full review
BRYAN RADTKE uncertified reviewer May 04, 2011
I saw this production in nyc. Tanya Perez is a talent to be reckoned with. Her Honor & Fidelity is adeptly written and performed. We all have a family history and it is a pleasure to watch a personal celebration of the trials, experiences and relationships that get us to the present day. ... full review
DARREN LEY uncertified reviewer May 05, 2011
I saw this show when it was performed in New York. I thought it was incredible. Tanya Perez puts on a very moving performance as she portrays the stories of both a grandfather and his granddaughter. In addition to telling a poignant tale she sheds light on a little known chapter of American history. The great writing and acting combined with the beautiful guitar playing of Carlos Cuestas makes for a wonderful evening of theater.... full review

I saw the NYC performance at Cherry Lane and it blew me away. The story was heartfelt and Ms. Perez did an outstanding job of bridging the past with the present. I had the good fortune of seeing a glimpse of an incredible life told through great dialogue and beautiful music.... full review

Tanya Perez's total involvement seems to juxtapose playfulness and sadness in a way that comes across as very powerful. ... full review

JANABAI OWENS-AMSDEN uncertified reviewer June 13, 2011
I loved the show. Tanya Perez weaves a profoundly intimate yet unique narrative that captivated me for every single minute. The richness of her interpretation left nothing to be desired except perhaps a bittersweet longing for a time when men were men and they sang good songs and knew when to wear nice shoes.... full review
ELLIE FOX uncertified reviewer June 18, 2011
I felt emotional even before the show started! The scene was set as I walked into the theatre and Tanya Perez grabbed my attention with her incredible presence as soon as she walked on stage. The show is beautiful, heartfelt and so incredibly performed and the story is touching. Absolute credit to Tanya Perez for her amazing writing and performance, Carlos Cuestas for his heavenly guitar playing & Lorca Peress for the wonderful direction. Please do not miss this show.... full review
