"Brent Barrett brings a smooth matinee-idol charm - not to mention a booming voice - to the role of Billy Flynn"

in "The Associated Press"

"As the shyster extraordinaire, Billy Flynn, the winning Brent Barrett gets everything right"

in "New York Magazine" by John Simon

"Brent Barrett is all you could wish for in a lawyer or a matinee idol, using his boyhish movie-star magnetism and robust voice to epitomize the oiliness that helps his clients squirm their way out of the tightest spots"

in "Variety" by Charles Isherwood

"As the new crooked, personality plus lawyer, Brent Barrett exuding sleazy confidence like a well-publicizes toothpaste, is perfect for the role and sings with an unusually agreeable voice."

in "The New York Post" by Clive Barnes

"Brent Barrett as the silver-tongued lawyer Billy Flynn, has persuasively reconceived the role for which James Naughton won a Tony, in a younger, hungrier vein. He brings to mind one of those eager slightly sinister big-band singers of the 1940's, with the hint of predilection to violence behind the toothpaste smile. His voice is first-rate."
