“The
high point was Mr Gaines’s tender rendition of “A Quiet Girl”
… a hidden gem was a zany laugh-out-loud duet, “You’re
So Much A Part Of Me,” from “Alamanac”.”
Stephen Holden – New York Times
“Debbie
Gravitte does well with the little-heard Carnival In Flanders ditty, "How
Far can A Lady Go?"”
Andrew Gans, Playbill.com
“The
quality of the performance is the finest that this series has produced.”
Bob Crimeen, Sunday Herald Sun
