I went to see th show opening night and then again 3 weeks later. Obviously I enjoyed it the first time around,however the second time proved to be even more enjoyable.Eric Collins and the rest of the crew had definitely melded and the performances were quite impressive.

I wanted to take a moment and inform you on a new book coming out in October of this year… Rock & Roll…And The Beat Goes On by “Cousin Brucie” Morrow” foreword by Brian Wilson, a preface by Petula Clark and an epilogue by Billy Joel. Its a truely spectacular guide to the 1960s, and how music effected everything. From unforgettable movies, to world-changing history, Cousin Brucie takes you through the “explosive musical era”. When people talk about Rock & Roll, it’s not just about the music, but about the people. This book covers everyone from Elvis, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, the Doors, Alice Cooper and the Allman Brothers. It has over 300 photos, posters, album covers, record labels, quotes and more. Included is Cousin Brucies greatest artists of the era and their 250+ songs and a fun slang page in the back with a Rock and Roll Dictionary. Don’t Forget the amazing sidebars and stories about the history and background of music and the way the world was. pre order on amazon today!

I don’t agree with Mr. Thompson at all……I went to see it and let me tell you that overall the show is great. The casts did an amazing job that I recommended”Some Kind Of Wonderful” to everyone I know. In fact, most of my friends and family who had seen the show all agreed that its indeed “Some Kind Of Wonderful” Please don’t let this review stop you from seeing the show.

I am dumbfounded at this review. My experience proved just the opposite of Mr. Thompson’s OPINION. “Their voices simply aren’t strong enough…to make the audience feel emotionally invested”…Where were you seated? In the lobby…with earmuffs?
You did get one thing right…Bill Castellino and Christopher McGovern ARE a talented duo and did an outstanding, noteworthy, and enjoyable piece of theatre.
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL is an excellent piece of creative work with a very talented cast. The community would miss out on a truly delightful, “non-monotonous”, fun time if they did not attend a performance.
Loved every second and wanted more!

At least he finally managed to go see it. I thought maybe the Post was giving up reviewing stuff.

You must not have attended the same performance that I did. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! I have recommended it to everyone I know!
Your review reminds me of a similiarly caustic description of “Jersey Boys” when it hit Broadway. Obviously, the ticket buyers don’t always agree with the critic.
