Tomfoolery
Original Off Broadway Cast The Village Gate
1982
"Of the performers in Tomfoolery, the new Tom Lehrer revue, it is Donald Corren who best captures the satirical songwriter's style. A sweet-faced young man with a clear tenor, he brings a simple, unadorned delivery to misanthropic numbers like, 'My Home Town' and 'I Hold Your Hand in Mine.' By so doing, he takes us back to the time when Mr. Lehrer sang his own compositions at the piano with guileless brio."
"Of the four performers, Donald Corren is a find. This young man's face changes with every number, his personality is even more polymorphous, and his singing, speaking and deportment are a charming blend of unpushiness and aplomb."
"The reason for seeing Tomfoolery is Donald Corren."
