GETTING THEIR ACT TOGETHER... YOU BET by MERVYN ROTHSTEIN

With The Power of Two, Michael Feinstein and Cheyenne Jackson have put together a whale of a cabaret act. It bodes well for a burgeoning cabaret future together.

This crowd pleasing musical was one which made me think I'd landed on an alien planet.

It's awfully hard to find too much fault in a production that provides a fundamentally effective vehicle for Schmidt's score, which -- make no mistake -- is remarkable.
