  "A Dash Of Rosemary appears at first to be small and unassuming, but it has the heart of a big winner. This gem of a show takes you on a touching, sentimental journey of the legendary singer's life while offering up one hit song after the other. If it weren't for the lump in my throat, I would have sung along during the show's finale. That is no easy task to accomplish, but producer/creator Douglas Kampsen succeeds in serving up all the right ingredients." - Roy Miller - Broadway Producer, The Drowsy Chaperone
