Here are some quotes fr Curtain Up:
"The sixth season of Broadway by the Year series got off to a grand start on Monday, March 6th. While this was a depressing year in terms of the country's state of denial about the economy, with the worst still to come, there was penty to cheer about on the Great White Way -- 32 musical productions.
...
Mark Kudisch, himself one of the musical theater's most accomplished singers, directed the show with imagination and humor. 'I've Got Rhythm' by the full company made for a bang-up beginning. After that Kudisch astutely, and often playfully, had the talented performers -- some BBTY veterans, some welcome new additions like Celia Keenan-Bolger of The 25th Putnam County Spelling Bee fame -- alternate between solos, duets and ensemble arrangements. To underscore the aura of an evening that was more than a concert, Andy Blankenbuehler choreographed two numbers for Sean Martin Hingston and Shannon Lewis. Their amusing tango from Nina Rosa was one of the evening's big show stoppers, as was the 5-man military parade that gave us a rousing 'Strike Up the Band.'"
