Receptionedit
"The production received mixed reviews, but everyone agreed Bolger was the mainstay of the evening. Otherwise, most of the aisle sitters felt the material let him and the cast down. In fact, with just two exceptions, the critics were so generally unhappy with the revue that it’s surprising it lasted for nine months and made a profit."[4]
