DC Theatre Scene: "...hysterically funny" "What makes this show a must-see is the way Teatro de la Luna’s artistic director Mario Marcel handles the lively quartet of actors with lickity-split pacing and inspires tour-de-force performances." "The play may be about a Gentlemen’s Club for Latinos; but what it has to say is universal." "Argentinean actor Juan Bianchi, new to the Teatro de la Luna company, is a joy to watch. He brings an exuberant silliness and frantic force to the role of the mysterious El Mudo (Mute)/The Silent One." "...Alex Alburqueque is equally mesmerizing as the underdog, Artemio." "Four bravos, one for each actor in the ensemble."

Maryland Theatre Guide: "...hysterical comedy..." "Director Marcel does an excellent job..." [the characters’] individual personalities and brands of humor blend into a harmonious quartet in which each man’s problems is fused as one, along with their failures or successes." "The intimate setting of Teatro de la Luna enables a relaxed and interactive atmosphere for the audience, adding to an overall enjoyable performance."

The Examiner: "Verging on Hilarious"; "Many of the finest productions that Teatro de la Luna has produced over the years have existed in a realm best described as unconventional and tending toward the absurd. So it is with its latest sprightly creation, "Club de Caballeros: Rotos de Amer" ("Gentlemen's Club: Love Torn")."

Voz de América: "...gran trabajo actoral..." "Con buen uso de la comedia los cuatro personajes transportan al público por un camino en busca del amor..." "...risas y reflexión..."

In this hilarious comedy -bordering on the grotesque- four men who "suffer for love and have broken hearts" carry us into their hopes as they seek to recover what they have lost. They put us at the front of the eternal battle: the search for love.
