The
show stars ... a delightfully robust and deliciously attired
Michael McAssey as Edna.... |

"Certainly
one of the best voices in cabaret today. McAssey proves there is such
a thing as a male cabaret STAR!" |
|
"He
manages to somehow be both cabaret's most accomplished balladeer and
its wildest, most uninhibited musical clown." --Variety |
|
"McAssey
is in his prime right now. A voice that is as rich, warm and enveloping
as you could ever hope to hear. It's clear that he's a star of any
stage upon which he performs." -- Scott & Barbara Siegel, THEATERMANIA.COM) |
|
"Non-stop
entertainment, punctuated as often by his dazzling vocal prowess as
it is by his comic genius." |
|
"Ready
to sample some outstanding cabaret? There aren't enough opportunities
for New Yorkers to enjoy the McAssey magic. Catch him NOW!" -- CABARET SCENES MAGAZINE |
|
"His
voice has never sounded better...the years have added a polish and
luster that give his readings more depth and substance and his calm,
focused delivery is to be envied. Like a fine wine, McAssey is a consummate
professional who the years have only made better." -- David Hurst, SHOW BUSINESS |
|
"A
supreme interpreter of a lyric, capable of exploding every emotion
on stage from total buffoonery to tears." |

terrific singer." STEPHEN SCHWARTZ (composer of WICKED, GODSPELL & PIPPIN) |
