Editorial Reviews
Mike Tribby, Booklist, November 15, 1999
" Waldron's readable treatment of [Blackstone's show] is a reminder of one of the great 20th-century entertainers."

Michael Claxton, Theatre Survey, 2000
Daniel Waldron is preeminently qualified to tell this story. His fondness for his subject ... translates into a rich, evocative account."
