Promises, Promises

Promises, Promises - The Broadway Theatre (Viewed: Fall 2010)

Four names: Kristin Chenoweth, Sean Hayes, Tony Goldwyn, Molly Shannon. A powerhouse FOURsome, yes, leading a musical comedy and throwback to the 1960s. The costumes (gee, I wish I lived in this decade, I'd wear those dresses/skirts any day) and songs by these key players were a real treat, and just seeing them act live was a thrill. Not a standout storyline [for me], but entertaining, nonetheless!

Favorite songs:

• I Say A Little Prayor For You
• A House Is Not A Home

Although not having a long run (it ended in January 2011), Promises, Promises did win one 2010 Tony Award® (Best Featured Actress in a Musical: Katie Finneran).
