Here are some of the rave reviews:
"It's a lovable, quick-moving romp that kept the very small kids in the theatre attentive and involved throughout, yet offers enough sophistication and variety to keep their accompanying grown-ups diverted as well."
"The story unfolds speedily and mostly to the bright and chipper music of Bisen-Hersh...Among the highlights: the show-stopping title tune, which features more complex harmonies than you'd expect to find in a kids' musical, and "Do the Doggy Dance," a high-energy number that the littlest members of the audience seemed to get a big kick out of."
"Run on two feet or all fours down to Manhattan Children’s Theater. Stanley’s Party...is a rollicking, high-spirited adventure that doesn’t let up."
"What is most impressive is the catchy, clever score by Seth Bisen-Hersh. The music and lyrics are reminiscent of the Disney cartoons of the 1990’s; that is to say, sophisticated while still audience-appropriate...Every tune is hummable, enjoyable, and leaves plenty of Easter eggs for the careful listener. It takes a considerable amount of energy not to sing along, or jump on stage and join the show."
"It succeeds on a whole in entertaining all ages, and will surely have a long life, not just in dog years, after its run at MCT."
"Rising star Seth Bisen-Hersh shows off his ability to convey a myriad of emotions...the multi-talented cast breezes through each with refreshing ingenuity...While some may lament the state of cabaret, with Bisen-Hersh on the scene no one needs to worry."
"Why Am I Not Famous Yet? offers a humorous and often touching look into the daily New York grind...Bisen-Hersh is a talented composer and his lyrics often very good...He has a penchant for wit..."
-- Byrne Harrison, oobr.com
"Many of the songs are humorous and Bisen-Hersh has a talented cast to sing them. Cait Doyle, Reed Prescott, Julie Goldin, who does an outstanding job, and Rori Nogee, who handles a Sondheim-like song with great aplomb, might not make Mr. Bisen-Hersh famous yet, but they did make the show entertaining and earned it a happy face!"
-- Barry Leibman, HI! DRAMA
"At his best, Bisen-Hersh reminds me a bit of the great Oscar Levant, with his sour, comedically fatalist approach to life...I found a lot of his songs rather clever...Seth is joined by a talented group of young singers...Seth Bisen-Hersh is certainly doing his part to increase the cabaret act population and his off-beat, irreverent material makes for a fun time." -- Michael Dale, broadwayworld.com
"The 17 songs offer lively variety...the midnight office break-in, Nate liberating an opponent's slogan, the chorus of backers and their dance -- one episode outdoes the next." -- Glenda Frank, Backstage
