“The show is essentially Dale’s telling and reenacting of his life and stage story, and how a boy worked himself up through hard training to the summits of showbiz, to Britain’s beloved Music Hall and beyond it to every possible medium, including Shakespeare and Molière, displaying matchless movement, terrific timing and those oodles of charm which only inborn talent and hard work lightly worn can attain. It is impossible to impart all this through mere printed words; you must catch and experience the show first hand. What you see and hear will stay with you as a touchstone for as long as you are capable of joyous remembrance.”

– John Simon, Broadway Theatre Critic
