James Bundy, Maggi-Meg Reed, and Katharine Kean burst onstage in "Comedy Tonight," which immediately satisfies with its snappy lyrics and fast beat. The trio maintain professional distance from the audience, and, here again, director David Frutkoff's restraint preserves the professional atmosphere...
...Maggi-Meg Reed superbly plays the wisecracking chorus girl who takes Ruby under her wing (a resemblance to Joan Blondell certainly helps). The chorus-girl's argumentative romance with yet another sailor (Frank Pastor) makes Ruby's saccharine affair a little less cloying.

Goodness prevails, but, gratifyingly, even the selfish end up happy in Dames...
...Maggi-Meg Reed can belt out a song like "Maybe This Time" with all the expression and ease of the seasoned professional she protrays. She makes a "perfectly marvelous" Sally Bowles, played by Liza Minelli in the movie version, the blithe singer who moves in with American writer Clifford Bradshaw (Travis Epes) the day he arrives in Berlin. The two commence a life of charming self-deception: he fools himself and his family into thinking he is writing a novel that never materializes; she believes in the vacuous glamour of her role as a nightclub entertainer...
...final song, Maggi-Meg struts the famous camp just like Elsie from Chelsea...
