Reviews

Here are some comments from audience members about how the show affected them, either sent to me via email or spoken to me directly:

"Last night it was my privilege to attend Erin Cronican's farewell performance at Schroeder's. She was backed up by Cris O'Bryon on piano and occasionally on voice. We are going to miss this talented actress/singer/dancer. 'The Callback' was the name of her performance in which she blended her inimitable song styling with a touch of humor. The room was filled with the creme de la creme of the San Diego theatre scene, which meant I had to bribe my way in. I'm happy to have seen some of you there. Those that missed the show, missed a wonderful experience. We all wish Erin the best, as she soon flies off to That Strange Apple on the east coast. Fracture a femur, Erin."

-- Robert "Hitch" Hitchcox, San Diego Theatre Scene

"My god what a fantastic show ! Erin, you did it ! One of the best performances I have seen in many years. Trust me I am not an easy audience. You had me laughing and crying at the same time, making it difficult to hold on to the follow spot. Your show was put together like you had a staff of the best writers and producers in the business. To make me happy, other performers will need to come up to your level of excellence.. Your audience loved you. You are a star. Go and kick New York ass!"

-- John Harris (on follow spot)

" I really enjoyed your show. My two friends are relatively new to Cabaret and both enjoyed your selections even though they were not familiar with many of them. The comments were that you are REAL, very cute, and totally at ease on stage, not to mention talented. As we know, it takes more than talent, so I am always eager to hear defined feedback. I noticed that your mic technique is really good which is usually not the case with theatre artists. I wish you much success in NYC."

-- Karen Giorgio, cabaret artist

"You were breathtaking! I'm bummed you're not going to be having anymore cabarets.  Seriously, I went from chills to laughter to tears!  You're so beautiful, and you gotta sense of humor to go with it. Impressed as always."

"My fiancee and I both really enjoyed the show. You were simply amazing. We agreed that we could not distinguish your performance from those of the top quality Broadway actresses we've seen."
