FEATURES: THEATERSCENE: Producer Sharon Carr is Over the Moon
REVIEWS: --Duncan Pflaster, BROADWAY WORLD.com
"Creative and very funny!" -- VARIETY
"It plays only on Monday nights but elicits a Sunday kind of love."
"Best of all about Glimpses of the Moon: It's intelligent… the way that off-Broadway musicals used to be: derived from lofty literary works, and taking the high road in being smart." "A delicious evening of entertainment."
"Every New Yorker should go to the Oak Room at The Algonquin Hotel at least once… there will probably never be a better reason to go than Glimpses of the Moon."
"Tajlei Levis has spun her book and lyrics on Wharton's solidity and, together with John Mercurio's deliciously apt music, fashioned a charmingly successful trifle of a musical…Glimpses of the Moon is delightful."
"A jewel of an experience…a truly delightful New York night out!" "Exploding with charm and infectious songs … an evening of classy, frothy entertainment..." "Glimpses of the Moon offers a whiff of honesty that takes musical theater back where it belongs." --Amy Krivohlavek, offoff-online.com
"A delightful frothy evening of idle rich fun!"
"The performances are delicious...Go see it now!" "I loved it!" "A dizzy delight of a musical… a champagne flute of sparkling songs." "Um, hello producers, did I hear the phrase "Off-Broadway transfer?"" "Glimpses of the Moon has already bested most of the current crop of musicals for civilized entertainment"
"As soon as we hear composer John Mercurio's first Gershwinian piano chords and see Lisa Zinni's authentic-looking costumes, we settle comfortable into the 1920s, and the bright-eyed cast and almost Wodehouse-like plot do nothing to dispel the spell."
"The performances are Broadway-caliber, and director Marc Bruni's rich theatrical expertise is evident." -
"Glimpses of the Moon is SWELL"
"Levis and Mercurio's score is smart and charming." "The show's creators- aided by Lisa Zinni's era-celebratory costuming and Denis Jones' cleverly compacted choreography—conjure such a charmed world, it seems a pity it must evanesce like the bubbles off a gin fizz."
"With its slick direction, polished cast and agreeable storyline, it's hard to imagine Glimpses of the Moon not finding another home after its run is over at the Oak Room." ___________ LISTINGS: THE NEW YORKER
