Carol Burnett
in
at The Mark Taper Forum

In
her ingenue role, Egan more than holds her own against her feminine rival,
brandishing her vocal claws in ‘There’s Always a Woman’ and
innocently exalting the consumer excesses in ‘More.’

Egan
makes a wonderful wench, and her musical-theatre chops are amazingly
smooth .... Her duet with Burnett, “There’s Always a Woman,’
is a battle of witchy wits, and the pairs mutual hatred glows with
malevolent glee.

Egan
proves the most versatile, dancing with energy and skill, and managing the
most silly and the most poignant songs with equal style.

Susan
Egan proves a knockout as Burnett’s rival.
Egan goes from empty-headed coquette in ‘Lovely’ to heavily
armed bombshell in ‘Sooner or Later’ and ‘More.’
Egan gives more stylish oomph to the later two songs than Madonna
ever did in Sondheim’s Oscar-winning score for ‘Dick Tracy.’

Egan
is a performer of great promise, with a sharply focused soprano, unforced
girlish charm and sound comic instincts.
Her rendition of
‘More’ (from the film ‘Dick Tracy’) is beguiling in the
extreme.

Putting
It Together offers sensational performances not only by Carol Burnett but
also by the rising star Susan Egan .... Egan executes [her role] with
tremendous panache.
