This show is a great example of being perfect for being exactly what it is. It's a dude, a keyboard and some great songs - presented simply without anything extraneous. And that's the charm. A show like this lives or dies on the material, not just the songs but the performer's patter and rapport with the audience. There's nothing to hide behind. And 12 Bars succeeded spectacularly. ... full review

Great tunes,lovely and pleasant singing voice and a refreshing quick piece. Like stepping into the tiki room at Disneyland - a fun break to hear some tunes and relax amidst a crazy storm of a million other attractions. The brief singalong was my favorite part.... full review

Disclaimer: Richard is my step-father. And I have always found him to be ridiculously funny. Having said that, this was not a comedy show per se. Although there was plenty of humor to go around, there is a fair amount of poignancy in the mix. It's a good opportunity to see and hear how wonderful a songwriter Richard is live and up close. ... full review

Absolutely wonderful. The best random fringe ticket I've ever bought. From the moment it started, I knew I was in good hands. The material, talent, and craftsmanship of the piece were absolutely lovely. It was simple, honest, and direct. I was enchanted. I could have easily sat for another hour. ... full review

A marvelous experience of song and storytelling, woven together in such a way that you forget where you are and where you've been until after the show ends.... full review

Beryl's Been Banished! It's true: the shaky chanteuse whose "Gratitusical" was the best solo show at last year's Fringe is nowhere to be seen, but her talented creator, Richard Levinson, is back with a cabaret length solo show of 12 numbers, all related to bars he has known and/or loved! It is To Rejoice! His literate lyrics and savvy showmanship are always a highlight and a pleasure to visit, anywhere, any time! ... full review
