Broadway 2001 opening press quotes
"A daffy, delightful romp!"
Dennis Cunningham, NY1
"A dizzy, ditzy plum of a production!"
Barbara D Phillips, The Wall Street Journal
"What a smile producing celebration! There are very real charms in this tuneful and blitheringly delightful show."
Clive Barnes, New York Post
"A cheerfully convuluted tale of mistaken identity, romance thwarted and the triumph of true love. Once the giggles start, they rarely subside!"
Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
"A jolly good show!"
Lloyd Rose, Washington Post
"Giddy, carefree and energetically performed! John Scherer is wonderfully daft as Bertie, while everything Martin Jarvis does as Jeeves has a breathtakingly understated elegance."
Howard Kissel, NY Daily News
"Filled with sweetness and good cheer, the show jumps from the wry, genteel world of Wodehouse to the broadly comic exuberant one of musical comedy!"
Robert Feldberg, Bergen Record
"Nicely done Jeeves! ... Andrew Lloyd Webber's music brightly suits Alan Ayckbourn's neatly turned lyrics. Cozy in style, fizzy in spirits, it makes for a night of JOLLY GOOD FUN!"
Michael Sommers, The Star-Ledger
