  "What is there that this man can't do? He kazotskys, he soft shoes, he fandangos....He makes the oldest jokes fresh and funny!...It is impossible to watch him without being seized by his infectious spirit, his complete enjoyment in what he is doing.....he brings performing brilliance to the stage!" — Richard Shepard, The New York TimesBroadway World: Bruce Adler Has Died (July 5, 2008)
