“Foster
sang the Gershwins’ “Someone To Watch Over Me”… a
sweetly simple, direct and emotionally honest performance.”
Robert L.Daniels, Variety
“Sutton
Foster scored a hit with “It”… Bill Daugherty gave a stunningly
powerful rendition of “One Alone”… Marc Kudisch also made
an impressive impact with his grand un-miked rendition of “The Desert
Song… Anderson consistently wowed the audience with her talent and
stage personality.”
William Wolf, Wolf Entertainment Guide
“Nancy
Opel was a revelation as a glamorous torch singer… Eddie Korbich
again displayed his physical agility along with his fine voice and comic
charm.”
Elyse Sommer, Curtainup.com
“Happy
old ‘Year’!”
Howard Kissell, NY Daily News
