“While the first act serves as something of a farce with some camp noir overtones, the second takes a surprisingly grave turn into mortality, spirituality and the dangerous ease of self-deception. Somewhere in the overlap between Zen philosophy, Jungian psychology, Oscar Wilde and ‘Rent’ you’ll find ‘Chance.’ Come to think of it, this show might comprise the entirety of that singular overlap, but that’s still an impressive niche to carve out.” – Edge Media Network (national LGBT periodical)
“Richard Isen’s book could stand on its own for plot movement and pathos, with a spiritual reveal at the end that was inspired. When things got too deep, in walks the Lady with a stunning movie musical-style number.” – Outer-Stage
“…you must see Chance!” Jan Wahl, KRON-4 TV
