The Stage Review 'Electrifying' - Close To You - Bacharach Reimagined at the Criterion Theat
First produced at Off-Broadway's New York Theatre Workshop in 2013, it was then restaged at London's Menier Chocolate Factory last summer with co-creator and lead singer/guitarist Kyle Riabko recreating his New York troubadour performance, alongside fellow imports Daniel Bailen and James Williams, joining a new company featuring the big voiced American Anastacia McCleskey, the laid-back Dublin-born Stephanie McKeon, and British additions Greg Coulson and Renato Paris. The musicianship of the entire ensemble is absolutely superb, and their palpable love for the material is truly infectious.
