What
the Critics said about Lerner
In Love:
Barbara
Brussell, the wittiest of girl singers...with style, warmth, drive,
impeccable musical taste, and incredible chops...is interpreting the
songs of Alan Jay Lerner, the most urbane and literate of lyricists.
This treasure of good fortune... You'd be a fool to miss
it!”
-Rex Reed, New York Observer.
" ...ought to establish Ms. Brussell as a singer and storyteller
ready to join the dozen or so performers on cabaret's top rung.”
-Stephen Holden, New York Times

Critics, including Stephen Holden from the New York
Times and Rex Reed at the Observor have written
about “Barbara ... a “captivating” “sophisticated
singer-actress” with a “zany sense of humor” who “puts her original
spin on classic songs” and “can twist your heart into the shape of
saltwater taffy” is “ genuinely real and touching,” and “ In a
cabaret world...is a dream come true."
“It’s always worth
seeing a Barbara Brussell show.” Elizabeth Ahlfors, wrote for
Cabaret Scenes Magazine after the debut of the show
“... She and Johnny Mercer, promise a partnership that will
work!”

Projecting an off-kilter blend of zaniness and pathos that suggests the unpredictable mood swings of a Renée Zellweger character, Ms. Brussell, ... is a quick-change artist who injects an element of surprise into everything she sings. -Stephen Holden, New York Times Read the entire review -- click here.
