Came across this:

"The show opened smartly with "Standing on the Corner" ( Most Happy Fella ), as Devin Richards, Brandon Cutrell, and John Egan gave the eye to an assortment of flirty femmes. From the same show, Christine Andreas sent her shimmering soprano through the plaintive "Somebody Somewhere," and comely baritone Brent Barrett connected with "Joey Joey," one of the most beautifully introspective ballads in the musical theater repertoire. . .There was a fine Fair Lady sampler with Barrett reminding us that there are more than 2 ½ notes in "I've Grown Accustomed to her Face" (Rex Harrison famously talked through it), and Egan (the current Max in The Producers ) displayed his creamy tenor voice with "On the Street Where You Live." Andreas, who played Liza in the 1976 Broadway revival, sang " Show Me," and "I Could Have Danced All Night" with a disarming radiance."
