"It is no sinecure to perform the musically and lyrically ingenious and often complex songs of this American master composer and lyricist, but Esther Maas does this with verve. She has a very good singing voice and crystal clear diction, which makes songs such as But I'm not getting married today and How it was true highlights in the performance. She plays the role of the well-to-do but unhappy in her relationship Amy beautifully, while she manages to hide the obvious frustration with a smile. In her playing and in her singing she shows beautiful subcutaneous despair and villainy and sometimes an explosion. She does it all with a great sense of timing and with an allure and grandeur that is reminiscent of Jasperina de Jong, Conny Stuart or Gerrie van der Klei."
