review of Bruce in "Fiddler on the Roof"!
Richard Shepard (NY Times):"...what
is there that this man can't do? He kazotskys, he soft shoes,
he fandangos....He makes the oldest jokes fresh and funny!...It
is impossible to watch him without being seized by his infectious
spirit, his complete enjoyment in what he is doing.....he brings
performing brilliance to the stage!
Frank Rich (NY Times): "...a
fine acerbic clown"
Howard Kissel (NY Daily News):
"....an enormous talent"..."Bruce Adler is delicious"
Clive Barnes (NY Post): "Best
of all is Bruce Adler...whiz-dancing up a minor hurricane, and
singing with a zest and style that would even have done the great
Danny Kaye (whom Adler fleetingly resembles) proud!....His rendition
of 'Rumania, Rumania' must nowadays be definitive!"
Jacques le Sourd (Gannett Newspapers):
"Bruce Adler is superb"
Martin Schaeffer (Backstage):
"Bruce Adler....is a song-and-dance man in the best vaudeville
tradition!"
Variety: "...a first
rate entertainer....with quick steps... athletic dancing.....well-crooned
tunes...quick-lipped patter songs and abundant skill with comic
material!"
Don Shirley (LA Times): "Adler
is a high-octane comic with the sort of skills that would have
been eaten up by Hollywood 50 years ago!"
Philadelphia Inquirer: "Bruce
Adler is a performer par excellence....reminiscent of the late
Danny Kaye"
Peter Filichia (The Newark Star-Ledger):
"What a show! What a showman!..."
Bill Von Mauer (Ft Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel):
"...a star who is a nonstop show stopper!...an exhuberant,
joyful, power-packed talent who can do anything from a knee-rupturing
kazachok to Gene Kelly's umbrella-swinging choreograpy from 'Singin'
In The Rain' without losing an ounce of his dazzle!......Adler
could sing in Urdu and still leave you dazed by his charm and
his I-love-what-I'm-doing personality!......he's dead set on giving
his audience an evening they won't forget - and that's entertainment!"
Jack Zink (Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel):
"Adler is blessed with all the best show business instincts.....his
presentation is designed to salute the best of Yiddish theater
and vaudeville, much of which has become part of America's overall
show business legend."
Ben Rose (The Canadian Jewish News):
"Bruce Adler is the complete Yiddish performer."
George Capewell (The Miami Herald):
"...a commanding personality and a wonderfully expressive
voice.."
Chana Rosen, Director, Midwest region;
United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism: "Bruce
Adler's performance at our concert last night was a theater experience
one rarely has - a combination of endless enjoyment and sheer
awe in the presence of a master artist. His singing, his dancing,
his charm captivated the audience so that at times everyone seemed
to be breathing in unison. His material was great, his performance
flawless, his energy imcomparable and his artistry inspired. People
in the audience thanked me for bringing him to Chicago".
Paul Lerner, Congregation Beth Shalom:
" Dear Bruce: Many, many thanks for such a glorious
performance. Our congregants are still "kvelling" about the wonderful
evening. You are a consummate performer. How you make it through
90 minutes with such energy is amazing! Good luck on your Neil
Diamond project. And again, thanks for your generosity, kindness,
professionalism and rare talent. Come visit us again!
