The Triumph of Love Reviews

The Boston Globe - Highly Recommended

"...“Triumph of Love” is enjoying a colorful, full-throttled production at Boston’s Huntington Theatre under Loretta Greco’s direction. Greco, Huntington’s artistic director, was a staff producer on that McCarter Theatre mounting. Her intimate knowledge of the script and impeccable eye for on-stage and backstage talent results in a thoroughly enjoyable evening’s entertainment."

WBUR - Highly Recommended

"...It's hard to imagine that the combination of secrets, lies and disguises will lead to a great end. But in “The Triumph of Love,” which does offer a few serious lines about what we really pine for, princess Léonide is willing to take the risk. And with the help of her faithful maiden, a ride-or-die Avanthika Srinivasan as Corine, she’s almost certain it will pay off."

Joyce's Choices - Highly Recommended

"...THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE is an old story with eternal clout. This rapturous production now onstage at THE HUNTINGTON is a rollicking exploration of love and reason, gender and power, politics and class. Yes, it was written in 1732 by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux and has a marvelous cast but it’s the rip-roaring translation by Stephen Wadsworth which holds center stage and will leave you delighted and enlightened."

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...There are many reasons to see The Triumph of Love, director Loretta Greco’s gender-bending comedy that channels equal parts Shakespeare, Billy Wilder, and a dash of John Cleese. But at the heart of its success is Allison Altman’s dazzling turn as Princess Léonide."

New England Theater Mirror - Highly Recommended

"...This deftly directed, wonderfully acted, visually and vocally marvelous production is endlessly engaging and entertaining. It’s a feel-good show that will make you think and feel deeply about love and reason that audiences will love."

METR Mag - Highly Recommended

"..."TRIUMPH" is played purely for laughs and every character is a pleasure to watch, including Nacer as Hermocrate who immediately sees through Léonide’s “manly” disguise"
