Two reviews of the music I wrote for the musical “Best Laid Plans“, produced at The Beverly Hills Playhouse:
- (McManus) Santa Monica Outlook: “Dusenberry shows a lot of talent. He writes sprightly tunes and engaging lyrics.”
- (Sax.) Daily Variety: “A pleasant romp set in the Napa Valley. Dusenberry’s score is the best part of this production.”
From Jack Messenger, artistic director of the MBCC Theater in Manhattan Beach, and director of The Accidental President, speaking about the real story that inspired The Accidental President, and then my music written for the play:
- “Not only was this fascinating fodder for a dramatic play but the music that accompanied the play was original, tuneful and struck an emotional chord with our audiences.“
