"a very capable cast and crew present a well acted and sung production of this lesser know
Sondheim gem."
"...cast and crew can be deservedly proud of the production they have put together. Sondheim's
score (which features more hummable songs-Not a Day Goes By & Good Friends to name only two) than many of his later works)
is served well by the talented cast. All in all, this is a production worth seeing if you happen to be anywhere near La Habra.
It was about a 50 minute drive for me on the surface streets (La Habra is north of Fullerton, Whittier adjacent, if that helps)
but I was glad I made the trek..."
"the production's most stellar performance is that of Tara Pitt, who goes from fat and bitchy
and drunk in the show's opening scene to slim and sweet and naively optimistic by the evening's end. Pitt is not only a fine
actress but has one of the purest and richest singing voices you're likely to ever hear in a non-Union production."
"David Farkas is handsome and charismatic as Franklin and the fact that he accompanies himself
on the piano in a couple of songs adds believability to his characterization."
"Jason Lewis provides a fine counterpoint as his partner Charley, whose manic rendition of
Franklin Shepard, Inc. is a highlight of the production."
"And Abigail Kinnahan, as Broadway diva Gussie, grows steadily stronger (and more glamorous)
in the role. Kinnahan had both the looks and the voice to make an audience believe that she is a real Broadway star."
