critical acclaim and enthusiastic audience
response when she brought it to NYC in March
and April. On March 4th, 2004, Stephen Holden
of The New York Times wrote of this show: “Watching
a singer like Jeanne MacDonald, who brings
an emotional balance; a subtle, good-humored
sexiness; and an originality to everything
she sings, makes you realize the crucial role
good instincts play in the self-consciously
confessional world of cabaret...It may be odd
to say about a nightclub singer, but you are
likely to leave Ms. MacDonald's show trusting
her.”
