"A delicious new musical comedy"  Following its longtime run at Don't Tell Mama, Robert Cabell's "2 Hearts Over Easy" opens tomorrow, Actors' Playhouse, Seventh Ave South. . . .The musical is about relationships, Married, not married, straight, not straight and the music is what it's all about.  Note to  Whitney Houston, or Michael Bolton or Lisa Minnelli: Catch this show.

"A wonderful thing." . .Cabell endows each of his Broadway babies with the weltschmerz and joy one expects from theatre."

"The show written and composed by Rober W Cabell, takes an affectionate look at the difficulty of relationsips in this age of AIDS". . .  "I found the musical really charming and warm. . . Cabell's music is lovely and occasionally poignant." 

"Three cheers for Two Hearts Over Easy. . . This two act musical pleases easily. It is the melodic story of two best friends that meet once a month for brunch to chat about their loves, their lives, their wishes and fantasies . . . Robert W Cabell wrote this amusing flashback choreographed by Marvin Gardens. . . The humor is as easy and breezy as the title suggests."

"This is a feel good musical. . .The drama lies in the present wishes and hurtful past of the two main characters. Jimmy's song to his lover who died of AIDS is beautiful and "Mirror Mirror On The Wall" is themost hearfelt and inspring of all the nunbers.  This musical, as a whole, offers delight in a charming way. . . with a well structured and beautifully crafted score."

"A variety of musical styles makes sure we are not bored and consistenly interesting lyrics make us listen.  Ranging from sixties-style "Talk About Boys" and  very funny songs about sex to an absolutely hearbreaking love ballad, "With The Last Breath I Breathe" the songs display a clear-eyed and wry view of life that can only come from a true romantic.  "Two Hearts Over Easy" is an appealing piece of musical theater."

"Riveting and impressing you at oncel. 'Knight In Paper Armor' and the genuinely beautiful 'With The Last Breath I Breathe' are excellent  examples of what Cabell can do. . . Do see, " Hearts Over Easy."

"A buoyantly entertaining mix of punchy melodies, whip crack comedy and arresting emotional honesty.". . . "'With The Last Breath I Breathe' is almost overwhelming in its eloquent expression of love"
