REVIEWS:

 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"This jury of one finds in favor of the creators and cast of "Judge Jackie Justice" for inciting lighthearted laughter..."

"...Destined to set precedent for small-theatre, small-cast entertainment... I sentence Judge Jackie Justice to four more months of production and a lifetime of licensing."

 BroadwayWorld.com
