A disappointing "Promisesx2", Apr 20, 2010
reviewer: Carolyn from Manhattan, NYC
Just saw the show. Sean Hayes an unexpected winner...never knew about his singing voice, and his physical comedy reminded me of Donald O'Connor. His comedic timing was spot-on. Kristen, Kristen, Kristen...I love her as a singer, but in this, there is not too much with these pop songs to show it off. They are in her lower range and nicely done, but, ho-hum. They've added songs ("I Say A Little Prayer" and "A House Is Not A Home"), maybe to showcase her singing, but less songs and more acting skill is needed. The first half was well paced, lively, but the show overdosed when Kristen's character did. The fake guitar playing in a duet with the two leads was pretty bad. The barfly, Kate Finneran, stole the show in two scenes...and the door was open to do so with weak acting by Kristen. Who could blame her for trying (and succeeding)? Needs some work...can this show be saved?

Where Did Chenoweth Go?, Apr 22, 2010
reviewer: Peri from New York, NY
The show lacks any big production numbers and doesn't show off Kristen Chenoweth's great voice, the way Wicked did. She has also lost so much weight, she looks anorexic. It's unhealthy and unattractive. She has sunken cheeks and toothpicks for limbs. Let's get some meat on those bones. Hayes and cast are great.

A Real Broadway Musical, Apr 24, 2010
reviewer: Adrienne from Manhattan
The music familiar and delightful, the talent extraordinary yet charming, while off to a slow start the show just keeps getting better and better. Sean Hayes wows with a beautiful voice and adorable boyish appeal, holds his own against the talented Kristin Chenoweth. If you like dancing, this show delivers, with sexy moves and fabulous costums.
I saw it twice already! Now, I will see Sean Hayes in anything! Great entertainment...

Awesome, Aug 16, 2010
reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
Loved this play - took my 74 year old mother and my 13 year old child - we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth were fabulous - actually the entire cast was - Must see!
