TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SEE MARK NADLER in
Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)
1) "It takes a comic spark plug touched with brilliance to pull off the kind of tour de force that the maniacally exuberant singer, pianist and cutup Mark Nadler has brought in his one-man show, Tschaikowsky (and Other Russians)!"
--Stephen Holden, The New York Times
2) “What Nadler demonstrates is that great cabaret is really great theater, stimulating and exhilarating, outrageous and hilarious!”
--Howard Kissel, Daily News
3) “...an involving lesson in history, musicology and humanity told in rapid-fire bursts of energy that verge on genius (well mad genius)…
Cancel all your plans and see the show you’ll be talking about for days afterward.
If you don’t go, you’ll miss the best show of the year!”
--Scott Jolley, Time Out New York
4) “Nadler--who’s also a superb pianist and damn good tap dancer... The big-voiced, expressive-eyed performer gets right to the heart of every song --
you may even weep for joy!”
Brian Scott Lipton, New York Post
5) “Victor Borge meets Hellzapoppin’… He’s a combination of all the Marx Brothers put together, what he does is risky, impudent and defies description.… an original. Talented and fearless, he never runs out of fresh ideas, and he has the wacky style and infectious humor to pull them off!”
--Rex Reed, The New York Observer
6) “...a zany comic persona that falls somewhere between the antic pianistic invention of Victor Borge and the lanky expressive goofiness of Ray Bolger… A refreshingly novel show!”
--Robert Daniels, Variety
7) “His ideas are uniformly brilliant and so is his execution…when the goofy lad decides he’s simply going to play, he often reaches concretizing levels. If you think Victor Borge was funny, you ain’t seen or heard nothing yet!”
--David Finkle, The Village Voice
8) Already considered to be in a musical comedy class by himself, Nadler has truly raised the bar... the most extraordinary cabaret act that you are likely to see this year!”
--The Siegels’ Nightlife Notes, Theatermania.com 9) “On his deathbed Mark Nadler will be slashing out arpeggios on a bouncing piano, spouting brilliant on-the-spot wisecracks out of ancient lyrics, bringing joy and vigor and naughtiness and sexual freedom to all!”
