After seeing their first show, David Finkle wrote "...how much room is there for three new tenors who've decided to goose their disparate careers by banding together? You'd better make room...they could be booked immediately into the best rooms in the country" and Jerry Osterberg from Cabaret Scenes said "The primary thing to say about these singers is that their voices, both singly and collectively, are fantastic!" The Christmas show is filled with the exciting arrangements, humor and great singing that the 3 Tenors have become known for. The arrangements are by music director Paul Stephan, and feature Billy Joel's He's Right on Time, Ann Hampton-Callaway's God Bless My Family, and perennial holiday favorites The Merry Christmas Polka, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Winter Wonderland, and Oh Holy Night. The original concept was the brain-child of Edd Clark and Paul Stephan, who asked their long-time friends, Bill Brooks and Steven Tharp to do a show spoofing the original "3 Tenors." The show took the NY cabaret scene by storm. With several versions of the show, a Bistro Award, and nominations for both the New York Night Life and MAC Awards, 3 Tenors...in Search of an Act proved a Broadway tenor (Bill Brooks), a legit tenor (Edd Clark), and an opera tenor (Steven Tharp), can share the same stage, and make it work brilliantlyFor further information
