REVIEWS:
"An old-fashioned revue that ably showcases the Tony-winning songwriter… a master of the type of art song that conveys mood via melody."
The New York Times
"Lush music and tight lyrics… Highlighting the genius of Yeston’s emotionally connected, yet intricate lyrics with his melodic romantic melodies."
Times Square Chronicles
"'Home’ is a sublime ending for a revue about a true creature of the theater."
Theatremania
"Magical moments come alive in a winning production… upon leaving the theatre, luxuriating in Yeston’s masterful melodies, a phrase of Shakespeare’s came to mind: ‘If music be the food of love, play on."
Theater Pizzazz
"A splendid revue of the cream of Maury Yeston’s crop… [an] awesomely engaging overview of the best of Maury Yeston, who wrote both the thoroughly delightful music and the unusually witty, touching, or poetic—as the case may be—lyrics."
