Around The Town Chicago music critic, Alan Bresloff wrote –
“It was wonderful to see The Biograph Theater almost filled to capacity on a Monday night– a mixture of ages from 3 years old to 93– skins of all colors and I would have to think all religions as well. This was a true “theatrical experience” as well as each song tells a story and the musicians and the dancers (in particular the dancers) express themselves in the telling of this story with their hearts and souls- no words.”
