 Great fun evenings entertainment, Apr 30, 2007 |
| reviewer: Geoffrey and Pauline Wanstall from England |
| We saw the show on our last night in NY and we are so glad we did! We are great English fans of David Hyde Pierce in Frasier and he was quite amazing! We had no idea he could sing and dance so well too!! The cast are all so talented and the story quite different for a musical but very entertaining. We could only get seats in the rear of the mezzanine but the view was perfect and (so importantly) we could hear every single word spoken and sung. If you like musical theatre don't miss this one! __________________ |

 Curtains way up for 'Curtains', Mar 05, 2007 |
| reviewer: Patfrancis@mybluelight.com from new york |
| What one would look for in musical comedy, they will find in "Curtains." Mix together terrific acting-dancing-loads of laughs- two (not one two) show-stopping numbers ("thataway" and 'its just business')ad you have a smash musical comedy. If your'e not laughing out load, you're smiling all the way through. David Hyde Pierce and Debra Monk are, as always, outstanding. But you can't take your eyes off Karen Ziemba, shes that good in the "thataway" number. There should be a bigger pause so the actors get the proper applause for that number. All featured players are excellent. Hint: Speed up the ending bows. It takes to long and ruins the quick action fun of the evening. This is the type of musical that Broadway used to have before we went Opera-or Miz. Its fun and I hope it has a healthy run. I, for one, plan to see it again. |

One of the best Broadway shows ever!!!!, Apr 01, 2007 |
| reviewer: Linda Gengaro from Bloomfield, N.J. |
| I didn't think it possible, but David Hyde Pierce surpassed his performance in Spamalot with his brilliant portrayal of the detective in Curtains. The entire ensemble was outstanding, with singing and dancing that rivals any other Broadway production I've ever seen. The witty script kept everyone entertained and laughing throughout. I had premium seats for the performance I attended, and although I'm definitely not sorry I did, I think even those people seated in the Mezzanine had a great view of the stage. Can actually say that it is a show that I would see and enjoy a second time around. I highly recommend it to any fun loving person looking for an entertaining night on the town. I rate this as one of my favorite Broadway shows ever, right up there with Wicked. Would be suprised to find anyone who sees this show to say they didn't love it! |

AWESOME PURE ENTERTAINMENT, Jun 01, 2007 |
| reviewer: Claire from Wales, UK |
| I came all the way from Wales, UK to see the show, all I can say is it was worth it. It was so great to see a funny show, with fantastic songs, so many of the new musicals are dark & miserable. The cast was outstanding, Debra Monk was phenomenal, it has prompted me to write my first ever fan letter at the age of 38!!! PLEASE come to London so I can see it again. __________________ |

The Quintessential Broadway Show, Mar 11, 2007 |
| reviewer: Denise from New Jersey |
| I go to about five Broadway musicals a year, so I'm pretty judgmental about the shows I see. I had no idea what to expect when I went to see Curtains in previews, but I came out of the theater smiling, humming, and excited about this wonderful show. It really has it all--incredibly appealing and talented cast (many of whom I recognized from TV), memorable musical numbers, awesome lighting, staging, and costumes. David Hyde Pierce and Karen Ziemba are incredible, but Debra Monk is my personal favorite. I would buy tickets again just to see her in the "It's just show business" number. I loved the way in which the stars came out for their final bows--I didn't want to leave the theater anyway! Thank you, Cast, for signing autographs after the show! |
