"Brought the time and style to life"

The performance was lively and well executed, bringing the 1920's & 30's to life, right in front of us. The size of the theater adds to the audiences' experience as one can almost be part of the scenery. The dancing was well done and the leading characters were outstanding in their delivery. Another great touch of the Tabard Theatre company is the actors being available after the program to talk to. Collapse

I highly recommend you see this show. Yes, the book is a piece of 'fluff' but the cast and band are excellent! Very talented! The leading lady is a real 'find'! Leslie Hardy is terrific. Greg Goebel continues to amaze with his warm voice and ease onstage. Never met anyone who didn't like him, on or off stage! The cast brings the Gershwin songs to life with their incredible singing and dancing. "Fascinatin' Rhythm" is a show-stopper. Gary Daum is PERFECT as the Butler - doesn't crack a smile and has just right amount of subtle disdain for the goings on around him. James Creer 'stole the show' with his songs, wonderful voice and beautiful smile! A natural onstage! The dancers were excellent, so talented! So much energy! Loved the choreography and costumes! Don't miss it! Collapse

This script is predictablly cheesey but in a good way. Sweet and era appropriate, there's a solid band, supporting a beautifully constumed cast, who have some wonderful dance productions numbers and a smattering of standout songs. Greg Gobel elicits a sigh and a smile from his first note, the kind of voice that's so lovely, you wish he had more songs to sing. Timing was good for the most part with the comedy, but this is no deep theatre expereince. Go with an open mind, don't try to make sense of the keystone cop type plot, just enjoy the music and the sparkles and the slapstick and you'll leave happy. Collapse

This productions is packed with talent, from the actors, singers and dancers to the musicians, choreographer and designers. Tabard does an outstanding job bringing the show to life -- Unfortunately, the script should have been left peacefully in its grave. Still, despite the weak book scenes and the many ungainly songs that don't further the story, it's a musical worth seeing for the talent and energy of the performers, and the first-rate production values. Mary Kalita is a high-steppin' fireball as the ingenue lead, and every principal brings plenty to his or her role. Gary Stanford Jr. and Nes Fragoso are stand-outs in their comedic character parts, Keith Pennings is slick and convincing as a silver-tongued lawyer, and James Creer's warm baritone and winning smile make his solos a vocal highlight of the evening. Sets and costumes are sleek and elegant, evoking the excess of the Roaring 20s. Overall, worth seeing, but I wish this great team had picked a better show. Collapse

I really enjoyed Hold On to Love. The young girl in the play (Carolyn DiLoreto, I believe) is a great actress and everyone did a good job. I got to know the characters, and didn't feel like any of them were just fluff. It was amuzing, thought provoking and, they give back to the community through a percentage of sales. I can't wait to see Lady, Be Good. I will definitely attend more of The Tabard Theatre Company's shows. Collapse

This plays plot is a bit deeper and darker than the production which left me a bit confused about the message or "point". That being said it was a nice piece of entertainment and there were some delightful performances (especially in act 2) and it spurred thought and conversation afterwards. Collapse
