REVIEWS:

"Exquisitely rendered... Jacuzzi holds you rapt!"

Time Out New York

"[It] has the savor of a crime drama, leavened with a slacker comic vibe... the dialogue [is] weird and funny, and the hot tub plopped center stage looks so inviting it's amazing audience members don't strip off and slide in. Hot enough for you?"

The New Yorker

"A slow, killing pace appropriate to a Japanese horror movie. The tension is off the charts!"

Variety

"This mysterious theatrical striptease will haunt your thoughts for days after you leave the theater... Jacuzzi slowly turns up the heat until the audience is in boiling water without even noticing."

 Theatre Mania
