William Wolf, WolfEntertainmentGuide.com

“Last year Barbara Walsh thrilled with William Finn’s “Holding To The Ground,” and this past Monday night she was equally dazzling with Stephen Sondheim’s “Losing My Mind,” building the torch song to a belty climax. Walsh is a singer who takes risks: She sings to the very top of her range, which makes it especially exciting for an audience member.”
Andrew Gans, Playbill

“Varying belting rafter-raising with ballads and a couple of comic relief moments, an especially enthusiastic audience found everything audible and applaudable, with sustained clapping and cheers.”
Rob Lester, Talkin’ Broadway

“For the second year in a row, Scott Siegel’s magnificent Broadway Unplugged concert at Town Hall proved microphones are the work of the devil! For two glorious hours a sold-out audience sat enthralled by performers singing without the aid of amplification – with William Michals, Liz Callaway and Deven May stopping the show along the way .”
