Reviews
“..singers did an astonishing job unfurling their lyrical lines over the busy instrumental underpinnings, which offered little obvious pitch reference...Daniel Klein used his capacious baritone effectively as Ted and Dewey, the robot”
“featuring stentorian bass-baritone Daniel Klein—as Dewey...His voice was definitive and certain as he faced the audience, gazing around the performance hall”
“As Ted, the windbag TED talker who fires Spearmint with centuries-spanning ambition, Daniel Klein so filled the room with his foghorn bass-baritone that one could have sworn he had amplification. As the robot museum guide and Shirl’s robot servant Dewey, Klein was less stentorian and more subtly creepy.”
“a cast who sing the bejeezus out of their parts and act up a storm...Daniel Klein’s Ted has all the smoothness of a fast-talking salesmen. He is stiff and robot-like as Dewey, every inch the proper butler, but with defiance in his eyes and disdain in his voice.”
