| How can Jesse Greene refer to Kate Baldwin as a should have been musical star. She is the very essence of a musical star and will undoubtedly star in many future shows. How about Jesse Greene as a should have been New York Times first string theatre critic. |

| I'm a big fan of Ms Baldwin, and enjoyed here in SUPERHERO. But rather than reacting to what one considers a dissing of one's favorite, you gotta read what Jesse Actually wrote, in context. Ms Baldwin is terrific - but she is not a Broadway star - it would be nice of she became one! She's appeared in 6 Broadway shows over 19 years. She was a replacement swing in THE FULL MONTY , she was in the ensemble and an understudy in THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE (at one point taking over some supporting roles during the run), she replaced Nancy Anderson as Helen during the run of WONDERFUL TOWN, she was Sharon, the lead, in the ill advised transfer of the Encores FINIANS RAINBOW in 2009, was featured in the flop BIG FISH in 2013, and played the supporting role of Irene Molloy in HELLO, DOLLY! I enjoyed her in all of these. But to be a Broadway star you have to play the lead role in a couple of hits, at the very least. |

| The use of past tense implies her career is over. | |

| She is a wonderful actress with a beautiful voice.She was amazing in the revival of John and Jen a few years back. This past holiday season I was waiting on the 34th st platform for an express train-she was only a few feet away so I did something I never did before,walked over to her and told her how much I admire her work.She could not have been more gracious! Told her I had seen her with all 3 Dollys many times over,and all her other great performances. We discussed this new show which I'm seeing this month-know she'll be brilliant as always! | |

| Her definitive Irene Molloy was actually a career high, one might argue. | |

| Baldwin and Creel were such a critical component of the "Dolly" success, it's unfair to have her participation reductively characterized as Green did. Yes, it's a star vehicle for a woman named Dolly. But the production proved it's really a show about the lives that intersect in one vivid day. When Peters took over, the Irene-Dolly relationship had a special vibe that made them feel like true peers, as businesswomen and otherwise. I thought Irene became even more valuable to the "Dolly" storytelling, and needless to say, Baldwin was the strongest I've seen. And I've seen stellar Irene Molloys. | |

| Yep. I thought of her for Malloy the moment they announced the production. Obviously they did too. Her voice is made for “Ribbons Down My Back.” | |

| I wish Jesse Green would stop writing about musicals. He obviously doesn’t like the genre very much. And he insulted Kate Baldwin in his review which is unforgivable. |

| He said she's terrific in this, but not a Broadway star. Seems pretty accurate to me. | |
