“Alluring
Broadway diva Christine Andreas revealed the talent to amuse and
the core of a ‘hymn for what might have been’ with ‘If
Love Were All’… With a breezy dash of song-and-dance
vaudeville spirit, Noah Racey re-created the jaunty, jilted resignation
of ‘I Guess I’ll Have To Change My Plan’.”
Robert L. Daniels, Variety
“Leslie
Anderson, with a gift for the comic, stressed the sarcastic in
her rendition of ‘My Husband’s First Wife’ from
the Jerome Kern- Oscar Hammerstein show ‘Sweet Adeline,’ and
turned on the resentment at being dumped by men in ‘Can’t
We Be Friends?’ by Paul James and Kay Swift from ‘The
Little Show’.”
