"Playing opposite Mr. Cunningham as Fran Kubelik is the musically masterful Shaina Summerville. Ms. Summerville sings the heck out of her numbers, particularly with the ladies’ ensemble in "I Say a Little Prayer" as well as in her beautiful ballads such as "A House is Not a Home," "Whoever You Are," and "Knowing When to Leave.". . . In the moments when Ms. Summerville finds the relevance in her songs, she truly sparkles."

"No well-trained actor wants to appear to be a bad actor, but Schneider and Summerville strike that dangerous balance by playing talentless performers with skill and consistency."
