TIME OUT NEW YORK:
"Wilson, a veteran of sitcoms, is a funny lady...she offers her compatriots an easy night out filled with knowing laughs and cocktails, which, at the end of the day, is a welcome respite from mommyhood."

BROADWAY WORLD:
"Kudos for Mother Load! ... Amy Wilson's personal story... offers laughs, tears, and most importantly, a breath of fresh air that brings motherhood back to what ultimately matters most... Bravo!"

THE VILLAGER
"By revealing her struggles, Wilson helps those of us seeking perfection — not just in motherhood but in any endeavor — to forgive ourselves for never attaining what is unattainable, and not that important after all...The show's pacing is flawless, the production seamless...the keen direction...beautifully supports Wilson's confident and friendly acting style...it may have been the hormones, but this mama left the theater with tears in her eyes!"

TIME OUT NEW YORK KIDS
"Every now and then, even the most patient progenitor has to indulge in... entertainment that's just for her. Enter Mother Load, the one-woman hit... Wilson manages to fully capture the utter overload of advice and must-do's... Wilson's consistently dry, tell-it-like-it-is delivery... vaults this show to a level of hilarity that even non-moms will appreciate!"

NEW YORK TIMES praise for Mother Load:
"Fluidly directed by Julie Kramer, Ms. Wilson paces the stage... with a look of endearing panic... Railing against sanctimonious mothers... who insist on nurturing children in a gluten-free paradise... Ms. Wilson never gets righteous about her own (relatively) more relaxed approach. Her children, we can assume, are quite lucky to have her."

NEW YORK TIMES praise for Amy Wilson:
"Like Annie Hall wearing a nursing bra... It is impossible to dislike Ms. Wilson-- an accomplished actress who has appeared on Broadway and in various television series... She displays a gift for impressions, perfectly rendering the officiousness of an ostensibly progressive Anglo-Indian headmistress in the show's funniest moment."

OFFOFFONLINE:
"This frank, funny, and rather frightening adventure on the front lines of motherhood should be required viewing for the overachiever in all of us... A poised and confident actress, Wilson... attacks her subject honestly and with a sparkling sense of humor... In Mother Load, at least, a messy, lived-in room is a treasure to behold!"

CELEBRITY CAFE:
"[Wilson's] comic timing is simply incredible. There's something for everyone in this delightfully candid expose... This show is a must-see!"

NEW YORK TIMES ONLINE READER REVIEWS:
Amy Wilson's brilliant delivery and biting wit/sarcasm
is something all New Yorkers can appreciate!"

New York Magazine *CRITIC'S PICK!
If you're a type-A parent, then Mother Load, the Off Broadway, one-mom production, is a reality check. Amy Wilson takes the audience from her days (year!) of trying to get pregnant up through nursery school and into the endless quest for parenting perfection. If you recognize yourself in any of it, it's time to gear down!

THEATERMANIA:
"Playing a variety of characters, Wilson gives her performance dynamic range...lightly comic and altogether satisfying...Mother Load is an earnest and honest work that deserves its audience."

Read the AP article on how "mom shows" like Mother Load share the angst, agony, and triumph of motherhood, and are touching a nerve nationwide

HEAR AMY ON BROADWAY BULLET:
"My thesis is that it's a lot harder for us mothers in particular, and parents in general, to raise kids, than it was when we were kids. I think that's true, but I also think that's completely our own fault-- because we take on ourselves this 'mother load' of expectations that society has of us of how to raise perfect children..."

AS SEEN IN URBAN BABY:
"Time to take a load off your mind and see Mother Load!"
