Reviews of significant productions of Superior Donuts: 

• Orlando Weekly: "Tracy Letts' Superior Donuts, which had a brief run on Broadway in 2009, is probably the most accessible play from an author better known for the brutal dramas Bug and Killer Joe. In fact, the storyline is so sitcom-like in its setup that CBS spun it off into a half-hour comedy starring Judd Hirsch." 

• New York Theater: "This got a big laugh in the performance I attended. I am assuming that some of this is based on the titillation that Broadway audiences consistently get from the utterance of even mildly naughty words; part of it is the surprising sassiness of this response... But the young man, who we find out later is desperately in debt, had just barely managed through cleverness and persistence to get a job from this stranger. Would he then immediately tell his new boss how much he hated the product that the man sells?"
