STELLAR REVIEWS!
Theatermania- "YOU'D HAVE TO BE A TOTAL SCROOGE NOT TO ADORE SONG-AND-DANCE MEN MARC KUDISCH AND JEFFRY DENMAN'S IRREVERENT HOLIDAY REVUE… The mirth in the show's first five seconds sustains itself for a remarkably consistent 85 minutes, not counting encores! The toe-tapping, ivory-tickling, string-strumming, bongo-pounding, carol-singing, tallis-wearing, schmaltz-ladling duo of THE HOLIDAY GUYS MAY BE JOKESTERS, BUT THEY'RE NOT KIDDING AROUND!!"
Backstage- "IT'S FUN! IT'S FESTIVE! ...Kudisch and Denman are serving up a pretty special gift this season! ...YOU'LL BE LAUGHING RIGHT ALONG WITH THE GUYS!"
Talkin Broadway- "A SEASON-SATIONAL DELIGHT! TOP TALENT IS THE MOST THRILLING THEATRICAL PRESENT THERE IS, and given how much of it they display in their show, Jeffry Denman and Marc Kudisch might as well complete their costumes by putting big red bows on their head!"
CurtainUp- "A DELIGHTFULLY SILLY, SONG AND DANCE FILLED GOOD TIME at the York Theatre! Kudisch and Denman are consummate entertainers who clearly love being on stage! I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER HOLIDAY TREAT than a ticket to Happy Merry Hanu-Mas at the York where every seat is a good seat!"
Woman Around Town-
"Holiday strains are upon us, and the INFECTIOUS ENTERTAINING SILLINESS of Happy Merry Hanu-Mas offers a ready antidote! Seasoned Broadway performers, Marc Kudisch and Jeffry Denman balance and bounce off one another in a loosey goosey combination of singing, dancing, storytelling and audience interaction so cozy, wry, and undemanding ONE CAN'T HELP BUT LEAVE THE THEATER FEELING LIGHTER!"
Times Square Chronicle- "The Holiday Guys' Happy Merry Hanu-Mas at the York Theatre is SOMETHING SPECIAL: AN INTIMATE SHOW WITH A LARGE HEART! Marc Kudisch and Jeffry Denman are, individually, SENSATIONAL ENTERTAINERS; together, they generate warmth, smiles, and a charming 'opposites attract' schtick! A BEAUTIFUL BALANCE BETWEEN SWEETNESS AND CLEVERNESS!"
