"Broadway has never been better... Megann Schmidt... burns the place down. Paul Henderson... a superb tenor... a master comic. Akilah Williams... rattles the rafters with 'I Cain't Say No.'
Martin Bray is... a terrific singer and actor... a pro hoofer. An all-star revue that you will be sorry you missed." Christopher Key, IMHO Reviews.
