FULL QUOTE FROM ABOVE: "Eric Michael Gillett is nothing less than the greatest showman in cabaret.  Cabaret is loaded with talent; we see people all the time who have great voices, who hold the stage with poise and presence, who are great interpreters of music and lyrics, who are exemplary actors and who are possessed with an ineffable charm.  Very few of those performers, however, have all of those qualities, and one of those rare few is Eric Michael Gillett."  Drama-Logue

"Gillett has a ball singing toe-tapping pop hits from the '50s to '80s.  Joined by a band and backup vocalists, this top tenor raises his glorious voice and it's "Yesterday Once More."  NY Daily News

+++

 

 

"If you don't already love them, Eric could sell you on Gregorian chants or Mahler's lieder. Backed by piano, bass, electric guitar and percussion, plus vocalists Karen Mack and Melanie Vaughan (each of whom shares one duet with him), it's Eric's show from beginning to end and he's dynamite from the minute he steps on stage to his final "good night."  His abilities as a consummate actor as well as singer will surprise no one"  Cabaret Scenes

"Gillett, also the director, could sing in almost any Broadway musical requiring a charming, mature leading man, a rousing voice and the ability to put over a song. "The Music Man" and "West Side Story" were the big hits of the year. Gillett proved that he can sing the tongue twister, patter number "Trouble" with the best of them, Robert Preston included, and ditto for his beautiful rendition of "Maria."
