“Brian Allen, Beth Barefoot-Jones and a talented cast bring Little Me to us with verve and style. It’s also a professional production at bargain prices. Belle reminisces (as an army of male attendants keeps her in trim), her younger self relives the events- and the men- who shared her spotlight. Most of them are played by the same actor – here, Steve Underwood – which was geared to the talents of Sid Caesar in 1962 and, most recently, Martin Short. Those two comics could and did manufacture wildly different characters in a nanosecond. Underwood is more of a team player and technician, less of a ham. Kelly Caufield has Broadway pipes and an appealing vitality as the kewpie-doll younger Belle. Lynne McGhee, as always, is a dynamo, has a lot of fun with this role; she’s all cheekbones and wide eyes. The hardest-working heroes of this show are the ensemble members, topnoth all. Do not miss the chance to see them at work.” Portland Press Herald Cathy Nelson Price
“Underwood is ridiculously funny in all of his roles… His physical comedy is something to behold, and his facial expressions add to the carnival atmosphere. The choreography and dancing add even more, and the set is hilariously colorful, with easily identified elements to define changing locations.” Portland Phoenix Jeff Inglis
“…the show stealer is Good Theater co-founder Steve Underwood playing multiple male characters…who gets cascades of laughs in the multiple roles.” The Forecaster Scott Andrews
