DELIGHTFUL! An affectionate amusing tribute to the heyday of silent film comedy with romance, high and low jinks and a climactic pie fight.
NewYork Times

A tour-de-force! Hilarious! Clever! This is one crowd-pleaser where you needn't feel embarrassed to be part of the crowd. Van Zandt directs the uproarious proceedings with precision and flair. An ensemble of 10, which executes gifted mime, balletic pratfalls, and operatic emotions, all with brio.
The Village Voice

An adoring salute to the golden age of film and an innovative twist on live theater! You won't hear a single word uttered in SILENT LAUGHTER, but the show offers quite a bit to see and hear. SILENT LAUGHTER displays a wholly original brand of musical theater. There is considerable sophistication and subtlety in this production. Exceptional costume design by Cynthia Nordstrom.

The best show running Off-Broadway! We were all totally enchanted by SILENT LAUGHTER. It's just so clever and adorable. It appeals to everyone, young and old! A dynamite production. The perfect show for people visiting New York. If it isn't a smash hit, there's no theatre god.
Joey Reynolds, WOR Radio

A marvel of slapstick!

Silent Laughter is terrific! Utterly hilarious! It¹s a doozie! Sophisticated slapstick! A bunch of sight gags that will make you gag with laughter. A daring project! Something fresh and new to enjoy! Don't miss this if you want some old time laughs! You will be overcome with the throwing of at least 100 cream pies.
David Richardson, WOR Radio

It¹s a big relief to sit back and sample some simple, old-fashioned fun at SILENT LAUGHTER at The Lamb's Theatre. Appealing entertainment for the whole family to enjoy. SILENT LAUGHTER is one of the most easygoing diversions to hit town in a while. 90 minutes of mute silliness that features pants ripping, water sloshing, prat falling, bed crashing and, of course, pie throwing. Jim Fitzpatrick, James Darrah and Ken Jennings are true to the Keystone-style zanies they emulate. Ralph Ringstad aptly punctuates the shenanigans with a delightful whirlway score. Everyone is almost certain to enjoy a swell time!

Lloyd, Keaton and Chaplin must be beaming. Van Zandt and Milmore took a chance with this piece. A chance that has paid off handsomely. We’ll take a pie in the face from these two anytime!
The Atlanticville

An imaginative, respectful, reverential stage recreation of the slapstick antics of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mack Sennett’s Keystone Kops, and the rest. Cleverly devised. The silence may be on stage, but the laughter is in the audience!
Two River Times

A winner! The laughter is not silent. It’s loud, frequent, sustained, and legitimate. Great fun!

Although Chaplinesque in inspiration, SILENT LAUGHTER is unique and original. It’s inspired silent movie madness!
Asbury Park Press

Simple, old-fashioned fun for the whole family. 90 minutes of mute silliness that features pants ripping, water sloshing, prat falling, bed crashing and, of course, pie throwing. Everyone is certain to enjoy a swell time!
Newark Star-Ledger

SILENT LAUGHTER is great family fun! Billy Van Zandt displays a Chaplin-esque innocence in every gesture and shift of his eyes. We immediately identify with this Little tramp.
