Broadway Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"Greek tragedy, magic realism and pulpy horror movie conventions collide in José Rivera’s “Massacre (Sing to Your Children),” an assaultive allegorical consideration of the use of violence as a response to life under a repressive regime, and of our own role in perpetuating that tyranny."

NEW YORK POST REVIEW:

VARIETY REVIEW:
"There's a speech in Jose Rivera's "Massacre (Sing to Your Children)" that lyrically conveys the yearnings that impel people to create gods to see them through troubled times. Unfortunately, that lovely speech comes at the end of an otherwise incoherent drama written in a contrarian style that's a cross between literary Magic Realism and a zombie movie. In a New England town far, far away from this galaxy, a group of citizen vigilantes murder a tyrant named Joe and spend the long, long night quarreling about it. If it weren't for the peculiar casting, this one might go directly to video."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"Messy stuff, morality.
And José Rivera’s untidy allegory of life and death, “Massacre (Sing to Your Children),” comes awash in blood, bile, tears, other body fluids, blinding lights and blaring music."

BACKSTAGE REVIEW:
"I wonder how much money this production of José Rivera’s “Massacre” spends on stage blood. The opening scene, the first in a series of scares, has the seven unlikely members of a guerrilla army enter drenched in the blood of a man they collectively “killed.” I’m no doctor, but I don’t think the human body generates that much viscous fluid. “I’m going to have nightmares,” my companion whispered in my ear, as the machete- and ice pick–toting group, sporting animal masks, ravaged the stage."
