It s the same time, 1962, a secretary is still a toy, boys will still be boys, but the times they are a changin . Audiences will love to hear what s happening on The Whole Ninth Floor First impression is that it is a string of jokes tied together rather loosely. A moment s concentration brings home however the basic fact that Seff weaves a story based on the young man s intense and insistent desire to do the right thing. The laughs come fast, and they are plentiful. – The Patterson Call The comedy construction of The Whole Ninth Floor is made up of wall-to-wall witticisms. Seff has a good ear and facile pen for manufacturing witty dialog. Also he obviously knows, from first hand experience, Madison Avenue and the talent agency area of show business, for his prototypes and inside trade references are accurate and appropriate. – The Scotch Plain Times A sparkling new comedy, a tremendously funny play. – The Herald News”
