Media

“An old-fashioned revue that ably showcases the Tony-winning songwriter… a master of the type of art song that conveys mood via melody.” – The New York Times

“Lush music and tight lyrics… Highlighting the genius of Yeston’s emotionally connected, yet intricate lyrics with his melodic romantic melodies” – Times Square Chronicles

“‘Home’ is a sublime ending for a revue about a true creature of the theater.” – Theatermania

“Magical moments come alive in a winning production… upon leaving the theatre, luxuriating in Yeston’s masterful melodies, a phrase of Shakespeare’s came to mind: ‘If music be the food of love, play on.’” – Theater Pizzazz

“A splendid revue of the cream of Maury Yeston’s crop… [an] awesomely engaging overview of the best of Maury Yeston, who wrote both the thoroughly delightful music and the unusually witty, touching, or poetic—as the case may be—lyrics.” – Theatre’s Leiter Side
