"A sentimental heartwarmer of a tale. Ms. Gifford’s lyrics carry off some nifty word play. UNDER THE BRIDGE has a strong cast and a grade-A production team. Mr. Dixon is sumptuously sardonic as Armand, and the three kids are just plain terrific. I liked it."
TERRY TEACHOUT, WALL STREET JOURNAL
"A heartwarming new show for families."
SUSAN AVERY, NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"The new year in New York theater begins on a positive note with UNDER THE BRIDGE, a new off-Broadway musical with old-fashioned charm."
"Kathie Lee Gifford has crafted a straightforward script with lyrics that are neat and thoughtful. David Pomeranz’s score offers easygoing waltzes and appealing ballads that sit nicely on the ear. The catchy score effectively suggests the show’s Parisian atmosphere. The smarts of this first collaboration between Gifford and Pomeranz augur well for the success of their next endeavor."
MICHAEL SOMMERS, STAR LEDGER
