Leba Hertz, San Francisco Chronicle: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...captures the essence of Carol as one of those creatures of the theater that when you see her onstage, you know you've seen something special." (Read the full review...) 244 words, 02/03/12 Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times: VERY GOOD (cg) "A pleasant, affectionate tribute to a unique star... would seem to have little to recommend it to anyone but die-hard Broadway fans.

John Anderson, Daily Variety: OUTSTANDING "A bonbon for buffs of all things Broadway... a celebration and a lament -- a celebration of Channing's seven decades as musical comedy star, and a lament that there's really no one like her anymore.... a class act -- the sound, music and present-day shooting all first rate."
