 Great Vehicle for two Strong Stars, Mar 31, 2010 |
| reviewer: J Hines from Dallas, TX USA |
| First, you have to view Promises, Promises as a period piece otherwise you will tear it to shreds. Saw the first preview on 3/27. From the opening number you are transported back to the 60's with music, costumes, choreography and sets that hint at those great TV variety shows of that time. Sean Hayes is at his comic best and Kristin Chenowith shines visually and vocally. Adding "Say a Little Prayer" to the score was a perfect touch and gives us another chance to hear those Chenowith pipes! Tony Goldwyn holds his own against these two dynamos, and Katie Finneran will have you rolling on the floor. |

 Hilarious show, Apr 03, 2010 |
| reviewer: Anonymous from Indiana |
| Saw this show on its 3/27 preview night with my teenaged daughter. We both loved it. It takes a lot to amuse me and I was laughing out loud a lot! There are not any big power songs or huge moments, but it is still a very memorable, highly entertaining show. I liked its narration style and the way the actors interacted with the audience in very subtle ways. It was a really unique and fun Broadway experience for us both! I highly recommend this show! |

 JeanneM, Apr 13, 2010 |
| reviewer: JeanneM from NY |
| The show had some good parts - Marge the owl lady was fantastic, the doctor was very funny too and the 4 exec's musical number was fun. Sean Hayes was ok - some "Jack" came through - funny most of the time, although his rendition of the theme song "Promises Promises" was flat and uninspiring. Kristen Chenoweth was ok too - great voice, but the guitar scene was awful. Overall the show was way too long - could cut or shorten some scenes and songs. |

missed promises, Apr 09, 2010 |
| reviewer: Jeff R from manhattan, NYC |
| fun show...love the music....Chenewoth is great as always- but they turned it into a sitcom. Hayes looks like he loves being in a broadway show..but its a TV show in the end. I was also in the 3/27 audience and felt like it was forced and unsatisfying. Orchestra was incredible! |

You will Laugh, I Promise!, Apr 18, 2010 |
| reviewer: Anonymous from NJ |
| Overall, an enjoyable show. Sean Hayes comes through with his usual comic timing! Kristin Chenoweth is adorable and can sing! Katie Finneran - exceptional! She will make you laugh. The ensemble was very good and enjoyable to watch. The only disappointment was the 2 male leads singing - (sorry Sean Hayes and Tony Goldwyn...stick with acting) |
