Airing Jan. 7 and 12 Feb. 29 2020
Smart Blonde
Bianchi delivering particularly amusing vocal impressions of Ruth Gordon, Ethel Barrymore, and Marilyn Monroe among others.
-- Hollywood Reporter
Smart Blonde
Bianchi in particular comes dangerously close to stealing the show, portraying everyone from Betty Comden to Marilyn Monroe.
-- Stage and Cinema
Smart Blonde
Andrea Bianchi demonstrates strong comedic talent as she moves from Betty Comden to Ruth Gordon to Holliday's communist -lesbian lover, Yetta Cohn; and finally and unexpectedly, Marilyn Monroe. As someone who spent time around Betty and Adolph and Ruthie, let me add that these impersonations were most cleverly accomplished.
-- New York Stage Review
Smart Blonde
For her part, Ms. Bianchi does show some real comic chops and mimicry skills, and her few moments as Ruth Gordon are quite funny.
-- Talkin Broadway
Smart Blonde
Yetta Cohn is portrayed with benevolent toughness by Andrea Bianchi, who is also highly amusing as the writer and actress Ruth Gordon.
-- New York Times
Smart Blonde
Andrea Bianchi juggles various Great Women of Show Business, including Comden, Marilyn Monroe (who shows up to compare dumb-blonde poses with Holliday), and -- in a wicked, sketch-comedy turn -- a pushy, gesticulating Ruth Gordon.
-- Light and Sound America
Smart Blonde
Ms. Bianchi's Ruth Gordon, Ethel Barrymore and Marilyn Monroe are standouts.
-- Time Square Chronicles
Smart Blonde
Bianchi's Ruth Gordon is worth the price of admission. It provides a witty comic highpoint of the evening.
