The performance was absolutely amazing. Very moving! The crowd was in tears! Susan Giosa's (Bella) performance is as good as it gets. The three leads were truly in the moment and invested in the character and story. One of the best plays I have seen in quite some time!
Very moving and wonderfully acted.
Having an Italian American background, I took my mother to this performance and we did enjoy it. Some of it felt stereotyped but it was very true to the times and the Italian american experience. Seats were wonderful!!
This play features some of the finest acting you'll see on any stage.
A great evening of theater.
"Sweepers" did remind me of Arthur Miller's work. The second act was a powerhouse drama with a surprise ending. Worthwhile seeing.
Great acting and interesting play
