"The bouncy Reba McEntire has the good fortune to be matched by one of Broadway's authentic leading men, Brent Barrett, also a newcomer to the production. Barrett boasts a great voice, and the charm and swagger of the Alfred Drakes of yesteryear. He makes a superb Butler, radiant and brassy."

in "The New York Post" by Clive Barnes

"Brent Barrett is a superb leading man. Bearded like the other Franks of this production, Barrett has all the swagger, ego, magnetism and voice one could ask for."

"Ms. McEntire has her dream foil in Brent Barrett, a handsome, gleaming-toothed baritone in the tradition of Alfred Drake and Howard Keel. Mr. Barrett, late of CHICAGO, is in excellent voice here, with a virile poise that recalls an earlier era of leading men."

in "The New York Times" by Ben Brantley

"Brent Barrett is McEntire's new Frank Butler, and his booming voice and ingratiating manner fit nicely into the show. Barrett is a rare commodity on Broadway these days - a genuinely supportive leading man, who is no slouch in the singing and acting department."
