Neal Zorn - local blogger on all thing entertaining and cultural - writes in his blog about this production. 

Neal's Paper

Anthony Stockert of the Princeton Packet says:"...the actors in this show do a terrific job of capturing these characters while not ripping off the actors who played them in the movie. These actors also bring terrific comic timing to the script..." "starring King Kaiser, a man with big talent and an even bigger ego (wonderfully played by Steve Lobis)" "Alan Swann (George Hartpence, who is perfect in the role)...(supposedly based on Errol Flynn) is a legend..." "Susan Fowler does a terrific job as Belle Steinberg Carroca." "Susan Blair shines as Alice, the only female writer on Kaiser’s staff." "Jeff Dworkin stands out as Sy, the beleaguered head writer."

And what about the music? “Welcome to Brooklyn,” is a hoot as Benjy’s relatives sing the praises of the borough. Mr. Hartpence leads the ensemble through a rousing number called “Manhattan” and Ms. Blair and Mr. Lobis are just terrific with “Professional Showbizness Comedy.” "The music is provided by five very good musicians, led by Peter de Mets."

Singing, dancing, laughter, tears, romance, swashbuckling action, spectacular costumes... so what more could you want?
