Richard Connema at ForAllEvents joins Kedar Adour’s excitement over “Chance.” Enjoy some choice comments:
Check out his review here: “A Beautiful Production of Richard Isen’s ‘Chance’…”
…Actually, he says “Well that was a pleasant surprise. Someone pinch us…” and goes on to give a great review to Chance. There are just too many excellent quotes to mention so we’ll just point you straight to the article here.
Remember Chance closes on July 28. Get your tickets now!
It’s positive words all around from Bonnie Weiss, at Musical Theater Lovers United, calling Richard Isen’s music “haunting…”, Randy Roberts’ performance a “tour de force” by “…a consummate actor,” Richard Hefner “utterly convincing,” Ken Lear “…a wonder… right out of central casting,” Robert Kalfin’s staging and direction “…seamless,” Tammy L. Hall, Ruth Price and Caleb Herring’s “…musical blendings… so rich that they sound as if they are part of a larger ensemble.”
Read it all here. But most of all, take her final advice to heart:
“Robert Isen… has managed to pull off a very difficult feat: Tell a universal story in a novel way with surprising plot twists, create characters that we truly care about, and write music and lyrics that charm the ear, engage the mind and touch the heart. San Francisco is the city of its world premiere. The run ends on July 28th, so don’t miss your chance to catch it before it moves on.”

Can it get better than a comment like this? “…I’ve discovered The New Musical ‘Chance’. And guess what? If ever there was an extraordinary Theater experience – this sure as hell is it …” Read all of Buzzin’ Lee’s comments here.

Thanks to Robert Sokol at the San Francisco Examiner (I always expect Charles Foster Kane to pop up when I hear that name…) for a great “Show Me Yours†review. Calling it a “…rompin’ revue about romance…†he gets right to the heart of our New Musical Theater of San Francisco mission:
“If the big-box jukebox musicals leave you full but unsatisfied, you might want to try the creative and tuneful sampler “Show Me Yours†at the Alcove Theater…
Mr. Sokol gives a great summation of the show here: Show Me Yours Review in the SF Examiner.

SHOW ME YOURS… is a fun and strikingly original musical. Each song by the players is truly compelling… these songs of innocence and experience by Pen and Piano – The Resident Writing Company of New Musical Theater of San Francisco really know how to put words together …it’s unlike anything that has ever been done on this new venue. The excellent singing by the cast just takes your breath away!
[Artistic Director Anne Nygren Doherty’s group] …Paul James Frantz (Composer Lyricist). Jerome Gentes (Lyricist). Richard Hefner (Composer Lyricist). Richard Hefner (Composer, Lyricist) – Plus: Richard Isen – Richard Jennings, Sandy Kasten – Andrew Klein – Denise Wharmby’s and Pamela Winfrey. They certainly made the evening marvelous and touching… Hooray for “Pen and Piano”.
HERE IS THE STUNNING, EXCELLENT CAST! CHLOE CONDON – JACQUELINE DE MURO – TIM HOMSLEY – SHEELAGH MURPHY AND TOM REARDON. All in all, their renditions are dazzling and gripping! The enitre evening is inspiring and uplifting. You’ll feel good. DON’T MISS!
