‘As a huge horror fan, this show was one of my most anticipated and… WOW. GREY HOUSE had me jolting in my seat, but more so pondering the themes and show as a whole (not a bad thing!). Definitely unique and thought-provoking… and a little bit terrifying!’ another added.
‘My favorite part of seeing Grey House on Broadway yesterday was hearing the guy sitting next to me mutter, “What the F***?!” during a pivotal scene,’ a third comment read.
‘First time being scared out of my seat at a Broadway play lol Grey House was pretty wild. Tatiana Maslany, Laurie Metcalf, Sophia Anna Caruso freaking killed it… some of them literally,’ one fan wrote.
