| The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderMr. Drake can be rivetingly angry, intense, frenetic, frank and touching. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonDrake draws us in, digging deep to track the occasionally divine, always ridiculous journey that is big-city gay life. |
| Village VoiceJessica WinterOnce Drake reaches the candlelight vigil that acts as his penultimate set piece, he sustains an impossible balance between mordant wit and articulate bewilderment. |

| User ReviewLane WBeautiful tour-de-force performance from Mr. Drake and incredible writing capturing all facets of his life growing up and maturing. Fantastic character arch. You can almost feel the years pass as you watch it. Riveting, hilarious, and very moving. |
