“The comedic and romantic tension between Robert and Gretchen, the guttural German, played outstandingly by Paige Cummings, was a highlight for me. The coy demeanor Paige has as Gretchen in her scenes with Robert after the accidental kiss was so much fun to watch. The way she squirms at the temptation and frequent pathetic attempts he makes at her for a follow-up kiss is so cute and hilariously funny, and her German accent is the first I’ve heard that I’ve ever wanted to listen to. I have never had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Cummings perform on stage before, but she is a gem, and no doubt should and will be cast in more shows here in WNY.”
