Miss Gulch Returns
"A delightful musical revue by Fred Barton, who effects an astonishing change on stage to resemble the character Margaret Hamilton immortalized. --The Advocate"An incredible performance, both roaringly funny and quite touching; a perfect blend of sensibilities and subtleties and a perfect jewel of a show. --Michael Bronski, Boston South End News"Bawdy, brassy, and funny as can be."  --Patti Hartigan, Boston Globe"Complex,intriguing; Barton so endows himself with the emotional life of Gulch that a touchingly believable figure emerges; a remarkable accomplishment." --Michael Sander, LA Dramalogue"Deliciously, wickedly funny but there's real depth and more than  a little poignancy as well. An all-around triumph." --Bob Harrington, Backstage"Deliciously, wickedly funny but there's real depth and more than a little poignancy as well.  An all-around triumph."  --Bob Harrington, Backstage"Gleeful malice by Barton, a talented writer of mainstream theatre  songs bursting with internal rhymes and insiders' show-business jokes." --Stephen Holden, New York Times"Gleeful malice by Barton, a talented writer of mainstream theatre songs bursting with internal rhymes and insiders' show-business jokes."  --Stephen Holden, New York Times"Lyrics cleverly constructed, rhymes elegantly intricate, messages  so rich that they make a mockery of today's Broadway scores." --Barbara and Scott Siegel, Theatermania"One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time, with riotous lyrics, smart tunes, and genuine poignancy underlying the wicked laughter." --Michael Sommers, NY Native"The music perfectly balances Barton's witty lyrics and intelligent turn of a phrase. One of the most original, fun-filled evenings in New York." --Martin Schaeffer, Tomorrow's TV Tonight
