Editorial Review:
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, JoBeth Williams, Tony Roberts, Caroline Aaron, Jay Paulson, Kala Savage, John Vickery, James Warwick This delightful Broadway hit chronicles three Jewish sisters from Brooklyn as they gather in London to celebrate a birthday. Wasserstein's three sisters include a brilliant banker and single mother who has given up on romance, a suburban housewife who moonlights as a talk-show host and a travel writer who still wants to write her serious book.
The Sisters Rosensweig: Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, JoBeth Williams, Tony Roberts, and Caroline Aaron (Audio Theatre Series) Reviews:
Great going down memory lane! 
2006-07-10 - Saw it on Broadway and just love it on tape! Hearing it just brings me right back. Oh, Wendy, I miss you!
And even if you didn't see the play you should still listen to this! Then just close your eyes and imagine!
Sweet Family Union 
2004-11-12 - The Sisters Rosensweig is a terrific, sweet and very humane play about a gathering of people, in particular three Jewish American sisters in London in 1991. Each of the sisters is stuck in some way, trapped by time in their mid-lives. They are joined at oldest sister Sara's London home by Sara's daughter, and several male suitors/friends.
Throughout Wasserstein keeps the tone light and the wit cracking. Everyone of these characters is intelligent and visible, knows the world yet remains perplexed by their own lives.
To me this is the type of affirming family bound play that warms, and though life remains elusive in many ways, the sisters know they have each other and use that love and charity to sweet degrees.
Recommended, smart and funny.
Ms. Wasserstein continues to delight
2000-08-11 - Reading a play by Wendy Wasserstien is always a delight, but even though all of her writings are to be savored, The Sisters Rosensweig exhibits an important mark in the author's maturing style. In spite of this maturation, however, the story line never grows stale and Ms. Wasserstein never fails to draw from her reader a smile and a laugh, and give to give us a refreshed sense of the type of person we want to be--it's self-help through fiction!
The Sisters Rosensweig follows the reunion of three Jewish sisters who come together for a visit in Queen Anne's Gate, London, and the joys and struggles they share concerning romance, careers, childhood, and family--joys and struggles with which we all identify, not only as women but as human beings. Thank you, Ms. Wasserstien, for another delightful treat!
