"Stephanie
Zimbalist possesses the requisite glamour for Desiree and
she sing/acts Send in the Clowns memorably, and
receives deserved applause."

Stage Scene - 9-26-07
"Stephanie Zimbalist, continuing a
long family tradition, is a complete triumph as 'Desiree',
the actress with the active love life. Her barbed quips
are among the evening’s treasured lines, and she delivers
the well-known solo Send in the Clowns more as an
actress than a polished singer, which further
enhances her character."

"Following in
the footsteps of many wonderful stars, Stephanie Zimbalist
as the gracefully aging, yet still desirable Desiree
headlines a magnificent cast, her summary smiles serving
as the outward signs of her deeply treasured memories. Her
singing might not dominate the stage with its power and
frequency range, but it has a wonderful human quality that
creates an aura with each word."

"The
barbarous treatment of You Must Meet My Wife is
both cheeky and gentle, thanks to Zimbalist, who also
finds time to shine gently singing one of Broadway's
timeless classics, Send in
the Clowns, a song
summing up a life's list of disappointments, using a
phrase from the circus when distraction is needed from a
horrible disaster."

"Zimbalist's admirable lack of
vanity in her tough-old-broad interpretation intensifies
the heartbreak of her rendition of
Send in the Clowns,
the ovation for which is completely earned."

"Stephanie
Zimbalist, while hardly a newcomer to the stage, is
something of a revelation as 'Desiree'..."

Angeles Times - 9-17-07
"Zimbalist gets to sing Sondheim's most famous song,
Send in the Clowns,
and she delivers it with a world-weary
tristesse worthy of its most
celebrated interpreter, Glynis
Johns."
- Orange County Register -

"It looks like
this trio of musical divas will be up to the challenge of
Sondheim's all-waltz score (every song is in ¾ time), and
this A Little Night Music will have audiences
humming for some time."
