The stage’Sam Marlowe wrote in their two-star review: ‘Audrey Niffenegger’s new musical, 2003 time-traveling bestseller, trades momentum for a vague and boring show’

In The Standard, Nick Curtis got straight to the point, saying he was ‘astounded’ that so much talent could produce such a ‘bland’ and ‘unpalatable’ musical.

Saying, “The grand romance of Audrey Niffenegger’s 2003 bestseller, which asked clever questions about how you would cope if your partner was repeatedly, involuntarily transported through time, is played here for somber sentiment and goofy laughs.”

Meanwhile, Greg Stewart enters Theater week gave four stars and said that despite the show having ‘relatively few songs’, the production was hailed as ‘magical’

‘Fans of the book won’t be disappointed by The Time Traveller’s Wife, it’s a real tribute to the source material and brings the heart of the story to life in amazing ways.’
