MAKE THIS A MUST SEE IF YOU VISIT NYC

First time family trip to New York from UK. Decided to see this show - it is fantastic a glorious mix of comedy and musical. Certainly no shortage of laughter with the audience virtually queing up to give a standing ovation. This show and all the cast deserve your attention - you will not be disappointed.

FANTASTIC!

This musical was amazing! I went to see it and it was my first show on Broadway. Although my groups definition of family friendly didn't match the ticket place's, we all enjoyed it. I bought the soundtrack and can't stop listening to it. The songs are catchy and easy to remember. The acting was phenomenal! Everything was just great!

CURTAINS WAY UP FOR 'CURTAINS'

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.

THE QUINTESSENTIAL BROADWAY SHOW

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!

IF YOU LIKED OKLAHOMA! ...

This is a fun show with lots of song and dance, a playful plot (which is a play within a play), and very good acting. There's one memorable song ("I Miss the Music") sung by a wonderful tenor; the others are nice but not memorable. My wife and I left the theater smiling and glad we went (on the spur of the moment) the night before opening.

CURTAINS ARE VERY UP

What a joy to see something that is neither politically correct nor offensive. Just a silly musical that you can enjoy with a production number thrown in just for the fun of it. And it has a score that you can remember and actually hum. Thankfully, the cast plays no instruments; they can sing and dance and they do it extraordinarily well. The entire cast does an outstanding job with a special thanks from me to Karen Ziemba who is truly incredible.
