""B'way '64: Terrific Tunes Bustin' Out All Over... The most powerful song of the evening was the title tune from 'Anyone Can Whistle,' which Tom Andersen sang just about as movingly as the composer has done."
Howard Kissell, Daily News

"Sharon McNight provided the evening's triumph…Best of all was her daring turn as Fanny Brice, stepping aside from the mike to proclaim, 'I'm the greatest star'…There were many other delights, especially from Callaway, who sang Sondheim's "There Won't Be Trumpets."
Robert L. Daniels, Variety

"Brinberg's Streisand, look, mannerisms and diva qualities in fact, was priceless, as was Skipper's exuberant Channing… an enjoyable wrap-up, with the singing talent once again key to delivering quality… The songs, whether poignant or comic, were delivered in grand style."
William Wolf, Wolf Entertainment Guide
