Douglas J. Cohen really knows how to "Treat a Lady", 22 Jun 2000

I worked on the Pacific Northwestern premiere of this show and from the first rehearsal I knew it was a winner, no less. Douglass J. Cohen is one of the best new composers out there and deserves to be patted on the back for this great accomplishment of a show. Each song has it's own originality about it...from "What Shall I Sing To You","Safer In My Arms","So Much In Common" and last but not least "Once More From The Top" all rise to be showstoppers and will be known to satisfy over and over again. If you want to start a collection of new up and coming composers to take over for Weber, Sondhiem and Kanber and Ebb, No Way To Treat A Lady is a good start it. Oh, one last thing, be sure to listen after "So Far, So Good-Finale" there is a little bullet montage that is halarious (it comes two minutes after the song is over). Enjoy!

I saw this musical in London, where it was getting lukewarm reviews. Really, one cannot trust critics to have any taste. An audience of bright, good-looking people was immediately won over by the sparkling tunes and brilliantly unpredictable lyrics. It was a hoot. Great songs, great lines (and superbly performed over my side of the pond). The CD's no match for seeing the show, but if you HAVE seen the show, how can you live without it? And if you haven't seen the show, buy this and pretend you did. It's fab.

Dark comedic thriller! Wickedly entertaining... But under appreciated., 31 Jan 2011

One of my all time favorite musicals. The songs are absolutely delightful! The characters are completely off the wall but they all have a little something in them we can all relate to. Many twist and turns. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good murder mystery.
