"Try To Remember/They Were You," from The Fantasticks
"I don't have to try to remember Rita - a one of a kind singer actress, who will always be 'Fantastick.'"
-Jerry Orbach
"What I Did For Love," from A Chorus Line
"Rita Gardner is a wonderful artist. Her cabaret (single woman) performance is stunning! I've always thrilled to see and hear her on stage." -Roberta Peters
"Carousel," from Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris
"Ms. Gardner performs... with the tender devotion of a veteran who still takes infinite pleasure in her craft. It's a transporting moment, the kind that keeps musical-theater audiences returning to those uncomfortable seats, in the hope of discovering that the old-school magic isn't gone for good."
-Charles Isherwood,
The New York Times
