Audience Reviews for The Kid From Brooklyn

  • Nov 23, 2014
    Cute, silly very lightweight comic musical with Kaye antic as ever and an amazing array of wonderful supporting actesses. Eve Arden is acerbic and terrifically droll, Vera-Ellen youthful, fresh and she dances like a dream, Fay Bainter all fractured dignity and Virginia Mayo, at the height of her beauty, sweet and charming.

    I remeber this as a kid and I loved it. Kaye was a genious and will be missed.
