“As someone who has tried and failed to be friends with her ex, the songs captured so many of the emotions that I had gone through. If anyone wanted a somehow more explosive version of The Last Five Years, this is it. I guess someone asked for it, because this show will be going on tour throughout NYC and London.”

— Catherine Burford, Broadway World

“Nolan’s score demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of country music’s narrative traditions, evoking everything from honky-tonk heartbreak to bluegrass jubilation. The opening number “Jealous” establishes the central conflict with admirable economy, while “Seein’ You’s Like Drinkin’ Whiskey” offered one of the evening’s most affecting sequences—a meditation on intoxication both literal and metaphorical that would not have been out of place in the Great American Songbook.”

— Edward Kliszus, The Front Row Center

“Wiley’s book, while maintaining comic velocity, never condescends to its characters’ struggles. The recurring motif of failed reconciliation—examined through numbers like “The Fight” and the poignant “Oil & Water”—suggests that some incompatibilities transcend good intentions.”

“Country- and western-themed theatre is popping up all over NYC these days…
Shucked… Music City … Now there’s Oil & Whiskey”
