“It was very powerful. I love how you wove the songs through your story… how the stories became fuller through the songs. It made me cry a few times, and you do inspire me.”

Karen Mason (Award-winning Broadway star)

“Robert Chionis is witness to a personal journey steeped in allegory framing the poignant ballads of Brian Lasser (among others). Performed with earnest wit and commitment by Chionis and his pianist/narrative foil Tim Long, the success of “Surviving Love” is that it was able to exist at all. The past, present and future of survivors are courageous stories that need to be told, sung, and celebrated, and Chionis does all of the above!”

Garnett Bruce (Artistic Adviser to Opera Omaha)

“Surviving Love is an effective piece of theater weaving cabaret songs into the story of a young man’s coming of age in New York City.  Robert Chionis is riveting as the protagonist who comes to the city and finds friendship, love and loss.  His skills as singer and actor draw us into his journey, accompanying him on the dizzying highs and the heart-wrenching lows of his trip.  He gave familiar songs a new depth and introduced me to many unfamiliar and very worthwhile songs, all of which were incredibly appropriate to the story line.”

Victoria Bond (composer, conductor)
