Review
"Benjamin Franklin, Citizen is tactful in reporting on the personal details of Franklin's life - his common-law wife, French mistress and illegitimate son. You have to be attentive, but it's all there and is a welcome addition to the audio tradition that also includes similar treatments of the lives of Mark Twain and Charles Dickens." -- The Arizona Daily Star, April 29, 1995
"Actor Fredd Wayne has made a career of portraying Benjamin Franklin on television, film and especially on stage, in his one-man show "Benjamin Franklin, Citizen." His portrayal is now available on audio...Audio fans who saw those performances will recognize much, including the glass armonica Wayne plays on stage. The glass armonica was Franklin's inventive version of water-glass chimes, in which specially made glasses were set inside an ornate case and rung on a spindle...The Audio Partners' edition of the show includes music performed on the glass armonica by a European expert, the same music used by Wayne on stage to make it appear the he actually is playing...Audio transcriptions of one-man shows are a specialty of Audio Partners." -- Kate Seago, Daily News, April 13, 1995
"In the same category as Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain Tonight ... consistently entertaining." -- Variety
