Re: Promises Promises 2CD set from Kritzerland

Thanks for the box office info, Enormous. Just to be clear, I'm not anxious to see either star leave the show.

Re: Promises Promises 2CD set from Kritzerland

Joe, thank you so much for the information on the "two-fer" reissue of the 1968 cast recording. I was fortunate enough to snag a copy and am thoroughly enjoying it. With respect to the 2010 production, do you have any updates on whether the show continues to do well at the box office? Also...

Finally, a reviewer gets it right...

After seeing the show this past Friday night, I can vouch for the accuracy of this critic's review of "Promises, Promises." It's a huge crowd pleaser, a lot of fun, the music and singing are great, and though Chenoweth may not be perfect for the role of Fran Kubelik, she more than holds he...
