“Patricia Tinder is a strong Abigail Adams stuck in Massachusetts, but ever present in the mind of John Adams. She pairs up with her real-life husband, Mick Tinder, who plays John Adams with a sharp sense of the frustration that eats at the man, and their duet on "Till Then" is a delight.”

 

-Potomac Stages

“Keegan is well served by its choice of protagonists. Tinder as Adams has a high thin voice and a nearly operatic set of ticks and gestures. At first I was a little annoyed until I realized - I was supposed to be annoyed; Adams’ salient characteristic is that he annoys others, is “obnoxious and disliked”, as one song suggests. As the play wears on, Tinder tones down these effects. He had made his point about Adams’ character, and we are free to  appreciate the finer aspects of the man who became our second President. “ - DC Theatre Reviews
