Chris Jones, The New York Daily News: What you are getting for your top ticket price of $199 is a low-to-mid budget David Copperfield-type magic show with some neat tricks but minus any truly grand illusions, coupled with a protracted Muppet meet and greet to get folks in the door.
Steven Suskin, New York Stage Review: The one illusion Lake misses out on, at the Broadhurst, is the illusion that his entertainment—even with the Playbill billing page proclaiming “special guests The Muppets”—is anything other than an over-rehearsed and over-polished touring Vegas show.
Frank Scheck, New York Stage Review: Unfortunately, we have to stick with what we’ve been given, which is an evening of illusions large and small as performed by Lake, whose chief claim to fame seems to be having been a finalist on America’s Got Talent (the longer television competition shows go on, the more we’re going to see their alumni on our stages).
