So much fun! My cheeks were aching by the end. Waddell delivers a tight 60-minute joy ride through epic, absurd parody tunes. The lady has the pipes and Sherman provides the giggle/groan humor. Loved it. ...

What a wonderful way to spend an hour rediscovering the songs of Allan Sherman. Kudos to both Linden Waddell and Marjorie Poe, they are such talents. I don’t know where Linden found some of the material she included in the performance, but every number was a gem. Thanks for a wonderful and entertaining afternoon. If you should have the chance to see this show don’t hesitate for a minute.

Congratulations Linden! You are not only reintroducing the genius of Allan Sherman to an entirely new audience, you're doing it with style, an amazing voice, and the humor it deserves. Well done!!...

Listening to the crowd, there was a mix of young and old, and you could tell who was where by who laughed at what. What this meant was that for many, the show was an introduction to an artist they had never heard before (sigh – this is what happens when Dr. D goes off the public airwaves — oh, mighty MET, where have you gone). The laughter was raucous, and the show was well received. This is a show that young and old will enjoy, although you might have to explain some of the references to the younger folk.
