BUDDY, The Buddy Holly Story
The
Buddy Holly Production was the BEST SHOW WE HAVE EVER SEEN! If we could, we
would
see it again. If you run it again, I'm going to buy tickets for at least two
performances. The performers
and their talent were amazing. If you just have a night where they were to
perform one night only,
we'll be there. Thanks for the great evening - Chris N. Yorktown Heights,
NY
Just wanted to say that I was at the Sunday (April 6, 2008)
matinee show of The Buddy Holly Story
and I thought that this show was the best I have ever seen among a list of other
shows that I have
attended over the years! Pat McRoberts was excellent as Buddy and the entire
cast was great!
Congratulations on a wonderful show. -Richard M.
Yonkers, NY
Greetings:
Just got back from seeing "BUDDY" Sunday afternoon...I must say that the show
was OUTSTANDING!!! I saw this on Broadway and was so excited that it
was around again....
I would say that this was just as good as Broadway!!! The lunch was
very good...
as was the staff... very attentive!!! If you doubt coming, DON'T.....a
WONDERFUL
place to see anything there. I am recommending this venue to all my
friends and family.
I will definately be back for future performances at the WBT.
Thank You! Nancy G. West New York, NJ
my co-wokers from Our Lady of Mercy hospital really enjoyed
the show sitting at the executive room.
We felt like we were in someone's dining room. The performance was excellent.
Bravo'
I think it is the best performance I have seen at the dinner theatre. I'm
planning to buy tickets
for my son who is learning to play the guitar. He will enjoy the music. I was
wondering how you
were going to show the death of the musicians. It was done very tastefully.
thank you for a great show.
The actors really enjoyed their parts. We couldn't stop clapping. -Kathleen B.
Yonkers, NY
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. I have seen it twice and
would love to see it 10 more times.
Pat McRoberts is amazing. I cannot think of anyone else who could play
this role.
The entire cast is wonderful, but he is OUTSTANDING. I have been a subscriber
for many
years and this is without a doubt the BEST show I have seen here.
Thanks! - Judy Croton on Hudson, NY
I thought it was the best show I have seen at this theatre. I
recently saw several musicals
on Broadway including Chorus Line, Phantom, Gypsy and Jersey Boys. Until last
week I was
trying to decide my favorite Gypsy or Jersey Boys. Now I cant decide between
those and Buddy.
Our group consisted of ten and we are all still raving about it. My only
disappointment was that
the theatre wasn't SRO!! I have been telling people to go. Pat McRoberts is
outstanding, the
whole cast is fantastic. - Theresa H. Yonkers, NY
We attended the Buddy Holly musical
matinee yesterday, April 3, and it was fabulous!
The cast was great and Pat McRoberts as Buddy was outstanding! We recommend the
show
to everyone and anyone! -Joe and Maria V.
WOW! My daughters planned a "surprise night" for my birthday
last weekend. My husband and I are
big theater goers so we were excited with their choice of Buddy. I have never
written a review before,
but, I felt the need to share our feelings about this one-we were totally blown
away by the performers.
It was evident that they love what they are doing and gave more than 100%.
Their extraordinary talent and
enthusiasm - singers and dancers both- brought new meaning to excellent theater.
- Marlene G. Cranston, RI
We attended the BUDDY
HOLLY STORY on Saturday evening. We were EXTREMELY delighted
with the show. The high energy of each cast member was beyond words. Pat
McRoberts has to
be one of the best performers we have had the pleasure of seeing. I went to work
today raving
about the show. It was one evening we shall not forget. PLEASE share this with
the cast and
especially Pat. THANK YOU SO MUCH. -The Oehmes Newburgh, New York
Last week I brought my group from the Derby Senior Center to see Buddy Holly.
We attend every show
at Westchester and the are always good, but the group raved about Buddy Holly
all the way home and
told their friends about it the next day. This was without a doubt the best
show we have seen.
The energy never lets up and Pat McRoberts is a wonder as Buddy. I hope to get
to see it again with friends
before it closes. Kudos to all the cast. -Mary L. Derby, CT.
Dear Sir,
I need to take a few moments to commend you on your outstanding
presentation of "Buddy" which I
had the pleasure of seeing yesterday afternoon. As usual, the food and
service were outstanding.
Your new seafood dish is a winner; please keep it. The performances
were terrific, especially
Pat McRoberts who was fantastic. I couldn't find his e-mail address on
his website so please be
so kind as to mention or forward this e-mail to him as an appreciation of
his energetic and wonderful performance.
If you have his e-mail address, I'd be delighted to tell him personally.
Thanks to the Westchester
Broadway Theatre for providing this wonderful venue for live theatre.
Regards, Mike S.; -Middletown, NY
I am an avid theater goer, but this trip to the Westchester
Broadway Theatre was INCREDIBLE!
Pat McRoberts was sensational, but this show should make it to Broadway. The
Jersey Boys
was terrific, but it's time for another hit! Hopefully the critics and the
proper directors, producers
and backers will get the word before the show ends this run! I must add
that the musical director
Angela C. Howell should go with the show too. The other performers were
also fabulous! WOW!
Carol B., -Somers, NY
I brought my group,
St. Catharine's Church in Blauvelt, to see Buddy on > Friday evening.
The show was outstanding. The energy on stage was great. The final scene was
absolutely great.
I myself am a big Buddy Holly fan from the 50's and Pat McRoberts did one
great performance.
The whole show was perfect. I just wish more people would come to this
show. My wife
and I can't wait to go back to see it again. It brought back great
memories. Next year will be the
50th Anniversary of the death of Buddy, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper.
Rave on Westchester
Broadway Theatre. You have a hit there. -Joseph O. Blauvelt, NY
We were hesitant on seeing this show, but these young Actors are
the best - The person who
played Buddy (Pat McRoberts) was so believable, I thought I really was seeing
Buddy himself.
These guys should be on BROADWAY - NYC - There performance was SPECTACULAR-
full of excitement - audience participating. The music was awesome - we were so
glad we had a
chance to see this show and will advise anyone of our friends to see it. You
came away with a great
feeling of satisfaction - uplifting, give it my highest rating ... just
loved the show and the actors -
Good Job Guys - Marti and Tony C. - Salt Point, NY
Last evening my wife and I
attended the Buddy Holly performance as house guests through the thoughtful
consideration of your employee Milton Galaminson. We thought that the
performance was so outstanding
that we are buying tickets for our children, to make sure they do not miss
the show. As usual the Westchester
Broadway Theatre stars again. Ronald D. -Scarsdale NY
The show was a pure delight and VERY entertaining. I knew little
of Buddy Holly's life and his devotion to
his music, but the plot brought that aspect of the show out brilliantly.
Pat McRoberts as Buddy was incredible
both as an actor and musician. The charisma of Ryan G. Dunkin as The
Big Bopper and Miguel A. Romero as
> Ritchie Valens was matched only by the energy of the dancers. This show is
a must-see. It's the Jersey Boys
with a twist in Elmsford. Carol, White Plains, NY
We drove 8 hours from Akron
Ohio to see The Buddy Holly Story With Pat McRoberts. We had
seen the show in Akron in 2006. Pat's talent never > ceases to Amaze us. It was
great to see that a lot
of the cast was the same as the Akron Production. The show was wonderful and
definitely worth the
trip. We were impressed with your Theatre and we loved the seating setup.
Tammy Coen & Carol Fronk
My wife and I are subscribers and we saw Buddy last night. It
is rare when the performers take you to that next level and make you feel as
though you are really there but that is what happened last night. The
performances by Pat McRoberts as Buddy, Ryan G. Dunkin as The Big Bopper and
Miguel A. Romero as Ritchie Valens did just that. We felt we were experiencing
a real concert that was not only musically exceptional but intimate and
personable. The story line allowed us to "spy" into Buddy's life, another words
we saw a "Day in the life of Buddy". My only regret was that we couldn't see
them after their "concert" to get their autograph.
Thanks to Pat, Miguel and Ryan for bringing some of the greatest performers in
Rock and Roll history to life.
Ken P. - Elmsford, NY
I've been to many shows at the WBT over the years. My wife and
I agree that the 2/17/2008 show this was the best performance to date.
Keep up the great shows.
Thank You - Ray Bertrand
I am a subscriber with my girlfriend Terry Ryan and have been
for many years for all the shows. Last night I saw Buddy and I have to say, it
was the very best show I have ever seen at the Dinner Theatre and there have
been some terrific ones. I loved every minute of it and so did everyone in the
theatre. The music was wonderful and Pat McRoberts was just superb. What
talent was on that stage last night. I hope everyone in Westchester County
attends this performance. If you remember the 50's, it will warm your heart.
Jacqueline B. - West Harrison, NY
My husband and I attended the opening night of the Buddy
Holly story on Feb 14th. What a talented group of actor/musicians! I
must admit, initially I didn't realize the 'actors' were playing the
instruments themselves..since usually the orchestra is under the
stage...that served to enhance the first act even more...I must say that the
second act was fantastic!! The music, the memories, the day the music
died...brought me to tears. We are subscribers and we will be back with
friends and family to experience this show again...Bravo!!
Lucille - Hawthorne, NY
PHANTOM
Hi Lori here:) I just recently went with my fiancee' to see
Phantom. I wasn't going go because I saw the Broadway Show and didn't think it
would be as good as Broadway, but to my surprise it was:)))))))) I was so
IMPRESSED with Robert who is so TALENTED. I could not believe the special
effects they were TERRIFIC:) I loved everything about it and so did George:)
George and I are the couple who recently got engaged Oct 29th at this theatre:)
Have a great New Year:) George and Lori :)
What a great show! My group took it in this
past Sunday (11/18/07) and, to a person, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the
performance. Laughs, tears, frights...everything necessary to a grand theatre
experience was experienced by all. Some of us had also seen Webber's Broadway
production and, of course, there were those who preferred that one, but even
those had to admit that WBT's production of Phantom was excellent! (And, in my
humble opinion, the voices in this cast were far superior to that of the current
cast of Webber's production.) Kudos to all involved in the production and
extreme compliments to the entire staff (including the wait staff). As
usual--this was not our first visit to WBT--everyone went out of their way to
make sure we enjoyed ourselves. And we did!
B. Crane - Brooklyn, NY
In 1992 and 1996, my husband and I saw Phantom a total of 3
times. It is our favorite play, masterfully produced and performed at WBT.
When we saw Phantom was back in 2007/2008, we bought tickets for ourselves
and our 2 teenage daughters, aged 14 and 17, on Oct. 20. At intermission,
my 14 year old announced we HAD to come back and see it again -- so we
did, on January 5. She said it was better than the hard rock concert she
went to last summer. That compliment, from a teen, is better than winning
a Tony Award. Tonight, I will be back for my third time during this run,
bringing my mother to celebrate her birthday. Bravo for bringing such an
exquisite play to life again. All of the actors and actresses are brilliant.
Please don't make me wait another 11 years before Phantom returns to WBT.
Francine G - Yorktown Heights, NY
Last evening I saw the most wonderful
performance of "The Phantom". The voices were incredible. The show is now
the top of my list of GREAT PERFORMANCES.....BRAVO TO ALL THE CAST AND TO
THE WESTCHESTER THEATRE........
Wanda L. - Mahopac NY
I saw "Phantom" ten years ago when I refused to pay for and wait
a year to see the other Phantom production on Broadway. Then last year, our
children gave us gift tickets for that other Phantom. Half way through the
Broadway Phantom, I turned to my wife and said, "I know it has been nine
years and my memory of "Phantom" may have faded a bit, but "Phantom" was
better. I am not a theater critic but I researched others who are and they
agreed with me. So, when I saw "Phantom" was coming back to WBT, I got a
group together for the show. my memory did not fail me! I was right.
"Phantom" is the better Phantom. If this production was this good on a
small stage,
I can only imagine what a Broadway production would be like. If "Phantom"
returns again in ten years to WBT, "I'll be back" again for the real
Phantom.
Raymond C. - Flushing NY
To Whom it May Concern:
My Name is I. Dipaolo and I have been a subscriber at your theatre for 20 years.
I also belong to many clubs and churches. Last Sunday evening I was
enjoying the terrific performance of Phantom when unfortunately one of the men
in the audience became ill. Immediately the show stopped and didn't start
again until the man was out of the theatre and in the ambulance. As I said
I belong to many groups and i have never seen so much attention, respect,
dedication and love for a customer. It was great to see that in this
crazy world somebody still cares for people. You deserve a big "BRAVO"!I would also like to thank the Westchester
Broadway Theatre for
giving us 34 years of such great entertainment and great service.
Sincerely,
I. Dipaolo
On November 4, 2007 we went to see
The Phantom of the Opera as part of our 25th wedding anniversary.
We were not to convinced that this show would be of our liking, but we went to
see it anyway despite our table number
was 113 (front stage). This was the best thing we had convinced ourselves of.
This is a unforgettable and one-of-a-kind
theatre experience for us. The Phantom costumes were eye-catching, and the
special effects are truly thrilling.
The moment that Aaron Ramey (The Phantom) started to sign "Where in the World"
it was jaw opening and all I could
say was; "Wow, Wow, Wow..." My husband and I had never heard a voice like
Mr. Ramey's it is really a maestro and
not just in character. Oh, yes; Kate Rockwell (Christine) was amazing
also, but we had never heard such a voice
coming from a male. I sat at the edge of my seat the rest of the show. We find
irresistible the character of Mr.Gary Marchek's
(Cholet), he was hilarious to view, especially when he was in the scene
with Sandy Rosenberg (Carlotta)."Wow."
The show's eerie gondola ride to the Phantom's cave, when the giant
chandelier drops on the Paris Opera House stage; and
of course the teary eye scene with Mr. James Van Treuren (Gerard Carriere)
singing "You Are My Own" with Mr. Ramey.
"Wow, wow, wow. BRAVO!, BRAVO! BRAVO!"
Sincerely Amazed, Carmen and Richard V. , Mount Vernon, NY
I have been involved professionally in the theatre for many
years now. On October 6th I witnessed perhaps one of the most
breath taking pieces of theatre I have ever seen. I was amazed by the sets, costumes, breath
taking performances and mind
blowing staging...Both creatively and
technically.....I am now a very busy hair colorist and have urged all of my
clients to book
tickets....and in the past 3 days 7 clients have done just
that....BRAVO to a job well done...I have become a season subscriber
and I must
say that PHANTOM at the WBT put the Lloyd Webber version on b'way to SHAME....
Gina G. - Stamford, CT
I finally was able to convince my husband to take me to the show
at > Westchester Broadway Theatre to see Phantom.
He usually does not go for places with crowds. Well I tell you this, the
dinner and show experience was out of this world.
The show left us in awe. It was such a fantastic experience that we we got home
my husband made me go on line and order
tickets for Christmas Carol. We can't wait to go back on December 8th
2007. All I can say is Bravo!
Lynn and Rich in Bronxville
I am one of the majority that never takes the time to write a
compliment, However I must take the time to compliment
you and your "great staff". From the moment we were seated the friendliness and
competence of your staff was very evident.
The night was great Your food was great and the show was wonderful! I will come
back again and recommend you highly to
all IT IS A PLEASURE TO WRITE THIS TO A BUSINESS THAT IS STRIVING TO BE
THE BEST AND YOU ARE!!
Ron F. - Franklin Square, NY
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience last evening. The
show was spectacular but what really stands out is your
fabulous staff. My husband and I mistakenly scheduled the show for Wednesday
instead of Tues. Your staff called my
home and fortunately told my son we were "late". We literally ran out of my
daughter's home and drove to the theater,
where the kindness continue! Your staff approached us immediately and offered
dinner! We thought we had forfeited
dinner by being late. Thank you again and be sure I will spread the word about
your dinner theater.
Sincerely,
M. and J. Hines
Little Shop of Horrors was a delightful romp. The principals
were very talented, and the unseen voice of Audrey II as well as the man who
worked the puppet astounded the audience. The evening was pure entertainment.
It was a terrific way to spend my birthday. We have been attending WBT
productions since 1976, and they just seem to get better and more professional
every year. We recommended the show to all our friends and neighbors.
Carol G - White Plains, NY
Little Shop was the best show I have ever seen at WBT. I have
been coming to this theatre for many years and this was by far
the most fun and amazing show ever. I ended up seeing this show twice and loved
it more each time. The leads were great and the puppets were amazing. Please do
it again! BRAVO!!!!
Diana- Scarsdale, NY
This was my first time at Westchester Broadway Theatre and I
thought that the whole experience was wonderful...the food
was great and the show was amazing. All of the actors were very
entertaining (including the plant, of course). I hope to be
back again soon.

GYPSY
WHAT A DELIGHTFUL EVENING. WE ARE PATRONS SINCE 1976 AND LOVE
THE
THEATRE., THE FOOD , THE SERVICE ETC. BUT LAST NIGHTS SHOW WAS
INCREDIBLE. KAREN MASON IS AN AMAZING SINGER AND ACTRESS. THANK YOU ALL
AGAIN FOR A GREAT NIGHT Martin
and Wanda L. , Mahopac, NY
I loved this show. It was great! I loved Karen Mason. She
brought down the house during every number. Kelli Barrett and Rick Hilsabeck as
Herbie and Louise are nothing short of perfect. Everything was great. The food,
the set, the costumes, the cast, the lights, all wonderful. My family looks
forward to seeing more and more great shows at WBT!
Helaine H., Irvington, NY
Dear Mr.Funking and Stutler,
We have been attending your productions since 1976 and I have never taken the
time to tell you that your present show
"Gypsy" is by far, in my opinion, the most delightful and well-performed
production. It is done with extremely talented
actors, especially Karen Mason. She truly lit up the stage with her outstanding,
strong voice, acting abilities and overall
stage presence. Thank you for bringing such excellent talent and
productions to Westchester! Since we mostly attend
musicals, your company has our support!
Sincerely,
S. Nissen
GREASE
Just a note of thanks. I was at the Matinee yesterday and
loved the show. My wife and I and my 2 children sat in 170 & 171 and our
server GENE was just a great person. Is is people like that, that make
your theatre a great time. It was wet and cold outside but he was warm and
friendly to everyone he served. Not just me and mine. I will ask to
sit in his section nest time I come to your theatre, which should be in August
for Little Shop. Thanks again to all of you for what you do.
P. Miele
Just wanted to send a note thanking you for the night we had
seeing your production of Grease. We were at table 210 with our daughter,
Faith (4 years old). She was amazed seeing the show so close up. She
even interacted a few times with the actors saying things like "hi Sandy" hand
they were all so sweet to her with their little waves and winks.
During the close of the play a few of them motioned to her to do the hand jive
and she was thrilled copying the moves along with them. As if this wasn't
enough, as we were getting ready to leave someone from backstage came out to
meet us. She told us the whole cast had been talking about Faith and got
such a kick out of her singing along to all the songs, they wanted to meet her!!
We brought her around back and she met the cast. She could barely speak
she was soooooo overwhelmed and excited. A few of the cast members hugged
her, and some even took the time to get down on their knees to talk to her face
to face. Being this was Faith's first show she was really blown away.
When we told the cast GREASE was Faith's first play they all clapped for her.
They even told her that she was their best participating audience member yet!
My husband and I thanked the cast over and over again. If Faith ends up
being in plays when she is older, the night she had at GREASE will no doubt have
a lot to do with it. We just wanted to thank everyone for really going
above and beyond and making such a special memory for our daughter. I only
with we had a camera with us.
Sincerely, Maureen and Joe A., New Rochelle, NY
THE FULL MONTY
For my cousin's 50th birthday I wanted to do something a little
special for her...treat her to a dinner and a show. We were very impressed
with your theatre!! Not only was the entree selection outstanding, the
show itself had us laughing and smiling ;-) (okay we wee grinning when the
show opened and the first dancer came out... very nice way to get the adrenalin
going) We both agreed that we would visit again! Thank you for
making this night a memorable one.
P.S. It was a very nice touch to have your MC announce a personal 'happy
birthday' to the birthday goers in the audience!!
Sincerely, J.Cuadrado
NUNSENSATIONS
My wife and I attended your Nunsensations show on February 18th
and enjoyed the event very much. Anne Marie, our waitress, made the dinner
event especially enjoyable with her friendliness and quality service. Thanks to
all for a fun day.
Sincerely, James U.
HOT MIKADO
I read the review in today's JOURNAL NEWS by Peter Kramer of
"The Hot Mikado". I felt I had to let you know that it is possible that Mr.
Kramer had a bad dinner and his views were cloudy, and quite distasteful.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the show (as we do every show at WBT) and
could not understand at all what points Mr. Kramer was making. He
sort-of-like missed the show. Was he seeing the same show we were?
I understand he was upset with the screens, the
acting and the dancing and the sound. Maybe Mr. Kramer needs a hearing
aid? We heard fine, and I do believe we were sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!
Perhaps Mr. Kramer was having a bad day...or is just a poor judge of
theatre (spelled "re", of course).
Thank you for your production, and I am eagerly
awaiting "Full Monty"--why did he have to take a swing at that?
Sincerely,
Gary David
BARNUM
Absolutely fantastic show! My whole family loved it. The
performances were the best we've ever seen in our 17 years coming to the
Westchester Broadway Theater. Not only was the singing world-class, but the
choreography, juggling, gymnastics, and the rest made our evening most
enjoyable. And of course, we always love the food, especially the Peach
Melba. We highly recommend this show, and just about every other one we've
seen there, to anybody. Bring the kids!
-Samuel B., White Plains
We have been fans of WBT for a very long time, probably since the mid-1980s, and
have never...repeat, NEVER...been disappointed with the performances, the
food, and the service. We took my parents and a friend to see "Barnum"
for Mother's Day. As always, we had a fantastic time and my parents and
friend raved about the performance afterward! My mother said she felt like she
was watching the late Robert Preston in the title role! Every single
performer was top-notch, and the singing and dancing were incredible! We
always love to see the sets at WBT, as it amazes us how well they set the
mood for the performances in such a small space (the helicopter > scene in "Miss
Saigon" comes to mind as one of the most memorable and moving we have
seen). If you have never attended a performance at this wonderful
theatre, go see "Barnum"!!!
-J. and N. Leone
AIDA
Wow!!! I came here on easter sunday to see this show not knowing
what to expect. Would I hate it? Would I love it? and the minute the music
started my decision was made. I loved it! everything was great. The sets,
costumes, direction/choreography but most of all the actors. If you didn't
purchase tickets yet, MAKE YOUR MOVE! I will never forget this show!
FOR A NIGHT OUT YOU CANNOT BEAT IT!!!!!!!!!! THE FOOD IS OUT OF
THIS WORLD AND THE PLAYS ARE THE BEST , THE SERVICE IS WONDERFUL AND THE
THEATRE IS MADE TO HAVE FULL VIEW WHERE EVER YOU ARE SETTLED
IF YOU WANT TO IMPRESS SOMEONE BRING THEM HERE .
- D. Blair; New York, NY
ARE WE THERE YET
My husband, granddaughter and I recently saw your production of
"Are we there yet?" We followed it carefully as the words told an important,
entertaining and true to life story of life's passages. Yesterday, I spoke
to another family member who saw the show and we agreed that the show did not
get the response from the audience it deserved. It was original, creative
and the cast did it justice and then some. Maybe the audience couldn't
follow the fast talking or the volume or I don't know what. We sat fairly
close to the performers and had a wonderful evening. Congratulations to your
entire staff, including the kitchen and service people. We hope to be back
sometime this year!
-B. Gillman, Yorktown Hts.
IT
HAPPENED ONE CHRISTMAS EVE
Another GREAT show from WBT!!! We've been coming to WBT
for years and the shows keep getting better and better (if that's possible!)!
But George Puello, the cast, and all involved truly outdid themselves this time!
I.H.O.C.E. is the perfect Christmas show for the entire family. It captures the
holiday message of LOVE, FORGIVENESS, UNDERSTANDING, LOYALTY, and PERSEVERANCE
in a nostalgic blend of joy and sadness. The cast was universally
excellent -- the acting superb and the singing (the solos, the duets, and the
group harmonies) the best yet at WBT! The set, the lighting, the costumes -- all
perfectly fit the changing chronology of this show (Mr.Puello subtly uses the
different women's hairstyles to show the passage of time!).
Congratulations again, WBT! And just a suggestion: it's obvious from the
appreciative audience at the sold-out performance that we attended that
Christmas shows are a big hit at WBT, so why not bring back this show again,
along with last Christmas' crowd-pleasing MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET and run them in
alternate years? Audiences never get tired of quality family
entertainment, especially around the holidays!
-Denise and Joe Z. Shrub Oak, NY
November 26, 2005
To Whom It May Concern. I have just literally left your
theater(Sat.11/26/05)& was VERY moved by your production of "It happened one
Christmas". I had been adopted in 1964 at 4 months of age. My mother-in-law
takes our family annually for Christmas and it just so happens that this years
show was about a little girl "Dolly" who had been adopted into this family and
how they love her! My Husband and I are in the middle of an adoption ourselves
(from Kazakhstan) and are awaiting word as to when we can travel to pick up our
baby girl Abigal Rose. It's a very difficult time for us especially that
Christmas is upon us and your show brought a smile to our faces and joy in our
hearts. I really want to buy her a music box like the one in the show but I
forgot what song it played. If it's not to much trouble, maybe you could
be so kind as to let me know what the song was and where I may be able to get
one. I would also love to have a program to show her someday and I seemed to
have left
mine in the theater. Please thank the entire cast and crew for a job well
done...see you next Christmas (or sooner if we can!).
Sincerely,
Joni T. - Nyack, NY
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I celebrated my birthday this past Friday, December 30th. I wanted to say that
it was the most pleasant experience ever. Your staff is absolutely
wonderful, attentive, courteous, pleasant, friendly. The show was superb. The
atmosphere of the theatre is grown and sexy. I will be visiting your theatre
more frequently and have spread the word. Thank you for the wonderful
experience.
A. Martinez
I was just writing to extend a thank you for the wonderful
service we received during the Christmas show on the evening of 12/11. Our
party was seated in the Cole-Porter suite. We almost had a scare when one
of the women had lost a diamond from a ring. Your staff serving us last
night quickly helped find the stone - needless to say that we are very thankful.
Please extend a recognition to the staff if that is at all possible.
Thanks again. Jim - Yorktown Hts.

Debra, Wappingers Falls, NY
My wife and I were taken to your theater by another couple as a
birthday gift for me. Somehow, I kind of had the impression that we would be
seeing a community theater quality performance. First, I was more than
surprised by the high level of service only to be stunned by the quality of the
food (The Chicken Saltimbocca was Incredible) I would have been pleased with the
mediocre performance I expected. The show was spectacular, the voices were
stunning and the music, beyond high level broadway quality. We left discussing
your schedule and how soon we could come again.
Thank You Westchester Broadway Theater for giving us a wonderful night.

ANYTHING GOES
For the first time On Saturday, July 16th my husband, myself and
another couple went to see Anything Goes. We did not know what to expect
and were plesantly suprised. The show itself was supurb. The
music, acting, costumes, set design were as good as Broadway. An added
plus was we did not have to ride the street of Manhattan searching for a
parking spot or pay a parking garage. Parking was so convenient.
The theatre itself was comfortable and we were not packed in like
"sardines." We enjoyed our meal and the servers were polite and
friendly. Taking everything into account this was a very enjoyable
evening -- not to mention, of course, the price per ticket, which
was excellent. We will be back again! My husband just called and
informed me that he has ordered tickets to In The
Mood on November 1st. We are taking a couple, very old friends of ours,
for what we believe will be another enjoyable evening. Sincerely, Marilyn
& Paul Narson
CABARET
Talk about fabulous, this show had
everything, and everything it had was
right! I particularly was affected by the performance of Joy Franz as the
tragically practical Frau Schneider. Ms. Franz brought such a depth of
feeling to the role that it bowled me over and looked stunning besides.
Hats off to the entire cast!

Miss Saigon
My friend Jacque & I treated our husbands ( and ourselves) to the show as
a Fathers Day gift. We enjoyed an outstanding meal and then sat there in awe
at this breath-taking production. We were so pleased that we plan to take
our daughters to a few of the children's events this fall. BRAVO!
Brenda W. Kingston, NY
I have never been to your theatre before.
We went on 06/20/2004 and had a fabulous time. The service was wonderful and the
food delicious. I'm anxiously awaiting the next production.
Thank you for a wonderful and entertaining evening.

P.S Does the chef give out the rice pudding recipe? It was fabulous!

Dear the Westchester Broadway Theatre and to the cast of Miss
Saigon, My family and I have become members of the theatre and I have loved
every show that I have seen since I joined. This show however, moved me
more than any movie or play that I have ever seen. Yes, I am only 16 years
old so maybe I have not seen many, but it was by far the best play experience
I've ever had. It has made me want to become an actress more now that I
wanted before, and I try to sing the songs of the play with as much feeling and
intention that the actors were able to do. Thank you so much for such a
good experience (and so many tears as well ^_^ it was the most I have cried for
any show or play!) and I will remember this play for as long as I can.
Thank you, Lana Kitcher
THIS WAS MY FIRST VISIT TO YOUR THEATER.
I HAVE SEEN "MISS SAIGON" ON BROADWAY 4 TIMES. YOUR PRODUCTION OF THE SHOW
WAS EXCELLENT, AS WERE THE SETS, SOUND, AND COSTUMES. THE ACTORS WERE
EQUALLY OUTSTANDING, EXCEPT FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF DEBORAH LEW AS KIM. MISS LEW
GAVE THE PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME, MATCHED ONLY BY ANOTHER "KIM". LEA SALONGA!!!
L.R. WARFIELD -JERICHO, NY
Outstanding! My husband and I took my daughter and niece.
The ladies were
so moved by the strong performances we cried. We are subscribers for the
last couple of years and this is, by far, the best production we've seen.
The performances by Deborah Lew and Chris Alan Hall were so mesmerizing that
we forgot we were at a theatre. For a brief time, we were in Saigon.
We
were so delighted with the performance that we stayed to get autographs from
the brilliant actors. Thank you for bringing such talented performances to
Westchester.

FOOTLOOSE
To Cast, Producers,
Technicians, et al
As a born, raised theatre-goer of New York, I must write this accolade while my
hands are still sore from applauding.
The performance of "Footloose" this past Thursday, March 18th was absolutely
superb! Each and every member of the cast- extraordinary beyond words!
The quality of the Voices, dancing AND ACTING were ultimate
perfection...above and beyond anything recently on Broadway.
And last but not least-- the staging and production were--absolutely incredibly
awesome to say the least!
I don't know what else to say without becoming redundant.
Needless to say--Bravo to all of you for giving us, your audience, a most
memorable experience.
...........................................................
ADDENDUM
Secondly:
I have what might seem like an odd request - or question:
The chairs upon which we sat to dine and watch the performance--where, how can
I obtain one?
They were the most comfortable chairs I've sat upon, perfect back height
and swiveling mobility feature. With my severe back problem and
space limitation in my small apartment, this chair would be ideal for my
computer work. Since I am limited to shop the sources for such a
chair, would truly appreciate your help in obtaining one for my personal use.
Can you help? thanking you for such help...'and again much praise
for your theatrical productions,
Sincerely, Mrs. S. Joffe
We had a great time. Had never been there before so we
really didn't know what to expect. The food was good, the service was
wonder and the show exceeded my expectations.
We are going back for the Doo Wop special!!!
S. Woodford- New Milford, CT.
The choreography, the singing, and the energy
of the cast was wonderful. I especially liked the not-so-pat ending as in
the movie. The scene in which Shaw Moore mourns the loss of his son was
extremely moving and made for a wonderful dramatic contrast to the finale.
It looks as though Elmsford beat out Hollywood!
Dr. C. Gladstone- White Plains, New
York
FOOTLOOSE was a pretty amazing show. Each actor had a tremendous
amount of energy and that was definitely seen throughout the entire show
consistently. Urleen, Wendy Jo, and Rusty were hysterical and Ariel was
incredible. The guys also did an excellent job--nice moves. I had just recently
been in FOOTLOOSE at my high-school (where I played Ren) and was excited to see
it in a different way. Excellent!
