"Costume designer Sydney Maresca extract[s] maximal laughter from every sequin."
New York Times (The Lapsburgh Layover)

"Sydney Maresca's costumes have a let's-play-dress-up charm throughout."
New York Times (The Yellow Brick Road)

"The minimal set is complemented by Sydney Maresca's fabulous costumes - notably the wicked bruja's Dia De Los Muertos-inspired gown."
Time Out New York (The Yellow Brick Road)

"Sydney Maresca's beautiful period costumes are the icing on the cake."
NYTheater.com

"Sydney Maresca's many period costumes — both the crisp and the lush — were eye candy and just right."
Backstage

"Costume designer Sydney Maresca . . . deserves commendation. With only two performers, Maresca's costumes are crucial in making the characters immediately distinguishable from each other. Thureen's magic bikini briefs, in particular, are hysterical and perfect."
