Here's what the critics had to say about

LOU GEORGE

as

"Herbie"

in

starring Alene Robertson

8 time Jeff Award Winner

directed by David Wanstreet

produced by Ed Sayles

for Merry-Go-Round Playhouse

    Lou George does an excep-

tional turn as Herbie, the agent

and Rose's paramour.

    He matches Robertson through-

out the play with a polished, pro-

fessional performance.  He lends a

charming and likable balance to

Rose's brashness and never gets

outmatched.  He is an accom-

plished singer and moves through

his dance numbers with skill and

confidence.  His acting ability

matches Robertson's scene for

scene.

                          ~ The Auburn Citizen

    Lou George gives a touching

performance as Herbie, the

hapless agent who falls in love

with Rose.  His Herbie has the

right edge of the man who can

sell the shoddy act and is the

lover who takes a back seat to

Rose's ambition.

          ~ The Syracuse Post-Standard

    As Rose's love interest/

manager, Lou George plays an

endearingly spineless Herbie.

He has a lovely voice, and his

acting is fine, despite the fact

that his character is one of the

mousiest men in musical

theater.

                             ~ Ithaca Times

    Lou George gives the family agent

Herbie the right basset-hound look

and ably backs Rose in two duets,

"Small World" and "You'll Never

Get Away From Me."  Present also

in George's portrayal is an under-

current of failure; a neat counter-

point to Louise/Gypsy's rise to

fame.
