GOOD THEATER GIVES SONDHEIM DANDY RIDE
by Christopher Hyde

"… a highly enjoyable evening of sophisticated theater."

"For an intimate setting like this one, the pianos, which are right on stage, work better than an orchestra."

"The actor-singers are well-nigh perfect for the selections, which tend to
alternate between the romantic and the sophisticated...Caufield can also belt one out with the best."

"Director Brian Allen narrates the work, which includes some great stories about Sondheim and his friends and also sings and dances. His narrative of ‘I Never Do Anything Twice’ from The Seven Percent Solution, is worth the price of admission. Allen can get a laugh simply by posing, as in ‘The Boy From…’ a nice parody of ‘The Girl From Ipanema.’"

"In this production, McGhee rescues it ["Send in the Clowns"] single-handedly, with understatement and a fine sense of context."

"This is the first production I have seen by the Good Theater company. If Side by Side is an example, they will be a welcome addition to Portland
professional theater."
