Darcy Pulliam as Mrs. Brice and Kevin Cotter as Fanny's toe-tapping friend Eddie Ryan are delightful in two minor numbers, "Who Taught Her Everything," and "Find Yourself a Man," Cotter has the best voice in the cast.

...comedy by a contradiction of her dancers as people and her dancers as objects. One minute the group is forming a geometric pattern with flexed arms and the feet and the next minute they are personified by someone muttering "ok" or pointing a finger at someone else's toe...
