Thought I'd post a trio of reviews by David-Edward Hughes here in Seattle. In his article, he covers "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", "You Can't Take It With You" at Seattle Rep and The Seattle Mens Chorus holiday concert with Jennifer Holiday. Check it out!

Congratulations Neil. It's just too bad that you weren't mentioned. Pshaw! HUGS!!!

I love the comment: triumph of production over content. Hey, that's success in my book!

I know you don't get top billing but I'm betting that everyone exiting the theatre is saying

"wow...did you notice that Neil Badders guy...what a performance..without him this show would have been flat and I would have demanded my money back...he's simply the best...and so cute"

sounds like a great show

and as I said one of my favorite.

Wonderful review, Neil! That must make the whole crew feel good about their hard work. I'm with tonethbone!

That should keep the morale up! Congrats!

I'm not in a role that would get mentioned. I'm just very happy that the production has been well-received.

HUGS!

I think it's a very good line and accurate.

HUGS!

HUGS!

It is an excellent production of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers".

HUGS!

It was really nice to read. weekilter saw the show on Thursday and emailed me the link. As to Tony's comment .. that's a real friend ...LOL! I'm a smart part of this production, but I am really proud of it:)

Indeed! Thanks! Now, on to two shows today!

HUGS!

Thanks for sharing the reviews. Sounds like your show is a definite hit. Musicals are America's 'grand opera' and the lesser-seen ones, in productions as good as this one, deserve to be revived and enjoyed by new generations.
I've done "YCTIWY" for Milwaukee Rep many years ago, and it was one of my favorite production experiences. It must be 'champagne casting' to have Elizabeth Huddle doing a cameo. She played the first Ranevskaya I ever saw (as an impressionable young pup just out of college). And, with her as director, I got to design King Lear for her at Colorado Shakespeare Festival back in 2001.

Lovely to know you're thriving in a theatre-rich city.
Hugs!

Wish you could see the Rep show with me and reunite with her! I'm delighted that the show has been well-reviewed and that the cast is so wonderful to work with.

HUGS!
