USA Today
New York Times (Ben Brantley)
From Brantley:
"Ms. Peters — lookin’ better than a body has a right to (to borrow from Dolly Parton) in a fuchsia bandage of a dress — more or less goes her own way, and the audience is delighted to follow her. As a singer and actress, she just can’t help being ardent, full-throated and sincere. She also reminds us here of her considerable and original comic gifts.
In my favorite moment, Ms. Peters sings a duet with a spotlight for a red-hot version of that oft-performed paean to showbiz ambition, “Broadway Baby.” The number begins with Ms. Peters stage left and the spotlight stage center.
She eyes the pool of light lustfully and seductively, sidles up to it and then jumps into its center, which is to say the center of attention. More than any footage of tall buildings and teeming streets, Ms. Peters’s leap into the spotlight summarizes the forever hungry essence of the city that’s being celebrated. "

Review, New York Post:
NY Post
Review, NY Mag, by Jesse Green:
"... for Peters, inevitably, “Broadway Baby,” which she proceeds to knock to the back of the hall with a fat, satisfying thwack. But then, she does that in each of her five or six at-bats, including a sexed-up “Isn’t He Something!” from Road Show and a climactic “Ladies Who Lunch.” Entered from an odd, unexpected angle, her rendition, much sadder than Elaine Stritch’s, both acknowledges and dismisses the originator of the song as if she were a woman seen at a party in exactly the same dress. Not that you’d ever find Stritch in the ruched fuchsia number Peters almost wears. Diva heaven, yes, but it needs to be said what a wrenching (and funny) actress Peters remains, not on top of her voice but through it. You can see the others working hard to match that quality in their best moments."
