 entertaining & enjoyable, Apr 18, 2010 |
| reviewer: JFG from Canton, Ct |
| attended the 4-17-10 matinee with my 25 yr old daughter...we both found it very enjoyable and had more than our share of laughs. "Jack" as previous reviews have stated, came through in Sean Hayes's performance but that made his characater all the more endearing...it did seem as though he was a bit nervous which was evident in some of his songs. All in all the show was highly entertaining. Katie Finneran was the show stealer for sure..too bad she didn't have more stage time. Kristin Chenoweth was not a disappointment, it was a real treat to see her perform. Didn't know Tony Goldwyn could sing...I would absolutely recommend this show however, not for children under the age of 14 due to the subject matter... |

 Good casting but boring show, May 01, 2010 |
| reviewer: Rob Houser from Atlanta, GA USA |
| I wouldn't recommend "Promises, Promises" even though it has a great cast. I was sorry that I spent my time and money on the musical, and I only paid half price. On the upside, Kristin Chenoweth's voice sounds great. BUT, the Burt Bacharach songs are cheesey and don't add anything to the story. On the upside, Sean Hayes is really funny in this role. BUT, his voice is weak and he sings the majority of the songs. The set is minimalistic and isn't especially exciting. The dancing is light and fun and trivial. The second half of the show is better than the first half, which I think is partially because it has more acting and fewer songs. If this had just been a play, it would have been much better than as a muscial. The first scene of the second act was hilarious, but that wasn't enough. Listen to the soundtrack before you go. I think it's sad that we celebrate a play that makes it seem okay and fun to cheat on your wife with people in the office. Bad show for kids under 14. |

 Old Fashion Fun, Apr 13, 2010 |
| reviewer: Anonymous from Atlanta, GA |
| The show is a delight but a far cry from the elaborate sets Broadway theater has become. This is a simple old fashion play that has strong acting and great singing. Sean Hayes was 'Jack' at times, but that seemed to help the momentum of the play. Chenoweth was wonderful and would have liked her to have more stage time. Enjoy the show for what it is...simple fun and giggles. |

 loved the show, Apr 14, 2010 |
| reviewer: Joyce from New Jersey |
| Never watched Will and Grace-so impressed with Sean Hayes-absolutely terrific! Kristin C. a doll-what a voice-the rest of the cast Tony Goldwyn-who knew he could sing!-wonderful. Great time for musical theater lovers |
