See it if Charming small stage revival of a golden age musical
Don't see it if Some cast members singing was just ok Read more
See it if U want lesson in golden age of musicals, 2 concentrate on show itself rather than production values, 2 experience talented newcomers,
Don't see it if need huge production values, need stars of today not of tomorrow, hate musicals, need a serious tone,
See it if you want to get a taste of an old fashioned musical - Comden & Green, Jule Styne, Garson Kanin. Some great musical numbers.
Don't see it if you need big. Much is done with a small stage and some very clever staging. And there is Make Someone Happy.
See it if You are a fan of Jules Styne’s music.
Don't see it if You want a serious play
See it if You want to see a staged concert of a rarely seen semi-semi-classic musical from the 60's full of fun tunes & just want to have some fun.
Don't see it if you're expecting a full orchestra & super-professional fully staged show.
See it if You like good old fashioned musicals with a fun story and characters and clever dialogue
Don't see it if You only like contemporary shows with realistic dialogue
See it if You appreciate clever restagings of classic musicals. You want to see shows you won’t often get to see anywhere else.
Don't see it if You’re expecting a big production with a large cast or orchestra.
See it if It was OK. Pleasant; well done. Glad to have finally seen it.
Don't see it if You're expecting something great.

"Much of the production's expert comedy comes from the trio of unsavory colleagues"

"The Damon Runyan characters seem inauthentic...While this is the show that introduced the hit 'Make Someone Happy,' most of the Styne/Comden and Green songs sound like second-rate versions of their greater efforts…Moran and Daniel work too hard to deliver on the comedy…Director Donald Brenner keeps the pace fluid though he is unable to solve the problems of the show…A solid revival without appreciably increasing the reputation of this rarely seen show."

"It contains one timeless ballad, two somewhat amusing girl group songs, one successful tongue-in-cheek number, and one comic soliloquy. Otherwise the material is tuneless and verbose. The game company does manage to deliver some entertainment, however...Patrick John Moran deserves better material...The best voice on the stage belongs to Beth DeMichele...Director Donald Brenner’s high spots are two terrific girl group numbers with very cool synchronized movement."

"'Do Re Mi' has never been a favorite title of mine, but its exuberant, lively rendering at Mel Miller’s Musicals Tonight! helps explain why so many musical theater fans cherish it. It’s a solid, satirical mid-century, second-drawer title, nimbly spoofing the then-current jukebox payola scandals...This 'Do Re Mi' is bare-bones and imperfect. But if you want a funny, tuneful example of mid-century masters having a great, inconsequential time? Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner."
