"One of the happy situations here is that the skilled character actors on whom this kind of show most depends—such as Cliff Bemis and Georgia Engel— are the very ones who value the tradition of top-drawer touring. They do Drowsy proud in Chicago."

Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"Standouts include…imposing theatrical impresario Cliff Bemis (if you ever wondered what Mike Ditka would look like in a musical comedy, now you'll know)." Bob Verini, Variety

"...and who knew Mike Ditka did musicals?  Actually it's Cliff Bemis who plays the producer." Pittsburgh Gazette
