“Marry Harry is an extraordinary original musical with an engaging story, fantastic talent and a memorable score … it is must-see musical theater at its very best.” ~Broadway World

“The tuneful new score by Dan Martin and Michael Biello is sweet, satisfying and easily digested. If all this sounds terribly conventional – it is! A heart-felt love letter to musical comedy.” ~The Examiner

“The authors of Marry Harry have created a distinctive, feel good, charming and gentle romantic musical comedy … entertaining, warm and intelligent.” ~Talkin’ Broadway
