Praise for RAVENOUS

“Ravenous follows a young woman who has built her world and identity around her daily livestreams, where she voraciously ‘unboxes’ the mountains of products that are delivered to her door. The result is a stunning portrait of contemporary life that hits the sweet spot between comedy and tragedy and leads to an ending that leaves not only the products and characters, but the readers, ‘unboxed’.”

— Deborah Brevoort, playwright and librettist

“Incisive, propulsive, and darkly funny. Cooper’s vibrant language buzzes at a frenetic pace, articulating the pleasure and pain of what it means to consume and be consumed. Obsessed.”

— Tiffany Morris, author

“A perfect blend of the insanity and comedy of what it is to be alive and pregnant today. Cooper’s lyrical use of language is stunning.”

— Mindi Dickstein, lyricist and librettist

“In a deeply hilarious voice, Cooper skins capitalist, Momfluencer culture alive. It simmers with rage, and I couldn’t stop reading. Obsessed.”

— Meredith Hambrock, author

Praise for Theatre Works

"It’s when “The Memory Show” sings that it transcends the expected and achieves a haunting originality … Ms. Cooper’s script and lyrics are commendable in their willingness to take on unpleasant subjects without flinching. … In reflecting the tensions of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease — and being someone with Alzheimer’s disease — “The Memory Show” dares to be ugly. … What’s most striking about “The Memory Show” is its ability to grasp and translate the elusive into song."

— Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"Perpetual Sunshine and the Ghost Girls is outstanding - polished and haunting."

— BroadwayWorld Blog

"The Memory Show is sure to be a contender on next year’s lists for best musical. … Sara Cooper has delved into the not so pretty side of life and has melted our hearts. Word of warning, this is a three-tissue kind of show. … The book and lyrics by Cooper are some of the best out there today.”

— Suzanna Bowling, Times Square Chronicles

"[In Things I Left on Long Island,] Playwright Sara Cooper possesses an amicable, insightful voice. … Cooper and Director Noah Himmelstein perfectly capture the rhythm of family members talking to (and sometimes at) one another."

— Time Out New York, Critic’s Pick

"While the whole show is beautifully multi-layered, it has one of the slowest and the quietest endings to a musical I’ve come across over the years – and one of the best. …It’s quite rare for me to get completely engrossed in a show, and this was one of those productions that I didn’t want to end. I had my doubts about whether a two-hander musical about dementia would work well. This is a triumph. Gripping and compulsive viewing, I have no hesitation in recommending it. At least I think so: The Memory Show has left such an impact, it now has me questioning my own brainpower.”

— London Theatre 1

"[In Elevator Heart,] The stories they told and the songs they performed were deeply moving, with some being so similar to my own experience that they drove me close to tears. … This production brings up all the intolerance, prejudice and abuse we encounter in life, while simultaneously convincing you that it's worth living."
