Reviews of Danny as Chuck Baxter in
“Promises, Promises”
Tom Woods on CNY theatre news: “All those things still apply, but now I’m a Danny Gardner fan, too. Big Danny Gardner fan. Liked him immensely in Drowsy Chaperone and absolutely love him in Promises, Promises. His vocal work is terrific and he moves beautifully and he shows real acting chops, he carries the show, seemingly without effort. While there is lot to like in this production, and not much to dislike, Gardner consistently delivers a high-energy, vibrant and convincing performance that lights up the stage."
Ithaca Times: “From the Ithaca Times: "Lithe and lean Danny Gardner (an Ithaca College alum) has all the right moves as Chuck - polite, eager to please, romantically innocent. He negotiates beautifully the self-doubting young man's optimism and disappointment, his inexperience and yet competence when it's most needed. His energy sets the mark for the rest of cast"
Syracuse.com: "Gardner, very much a David Hyde Pierce-type ( the brother in TV’s “Fraser”) is lithe and light in the movement department, and sports a perfect voice and attitude for the character."
Syracuse New Times: “"We see all the action through Chuck Baxter’s eyes, which means that actor Danny Gardner does most of the heavy lifting in the first act, with four solos and two duets. Gardner banishes any thought of Jack Lemmon in this role; instead a kind of wistful loser who fantasizes about what he can’t get, he often imagines flattering and submissive responses from his dream girl, Fran Kubelik (Stacie Bono), a Simon device not found in the film. Gardner’s Baxter is more of an anti-hero, winning our empathy although he is neither admirable nor strong. His delivery of the difficult title song, “Promises, Promises,” is winning in another way. The fuller meaning of Hal David’s lyrics comes in the play’s dialogue."
Syracuse.com Pick of the Weekend: “Make that two picks this weekend.
The first goes to Lise Lindstrom, singing to the rafters of Cooperstown’s Alice Busch Theater the title role in Puccini’s “Tosca.” The second goes to Danny Gardner as the mousy, corporate climber in “Promises, Promises.” Lindstrom delivers the top female musical performance, while Gardner wins on the male side for his Chuck Baxter in Auburn’s Merry-Go-Round Playhouse production."
