Promises, Promises City Center Encores! "[Fran] is played by newcomer Kerry O'Malley, a singer who has one of those clarion-call voices perfectly suited for Bacharach's driving melodies and David's hard-edge lyrics."  -Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press "A delightful Kerry O'Malley was wronged innocence personified as the heroine, Fran Kubelik." -Clive Barnes, NY Post "Kerry O'Malley makes the heroine far more appealing than I remember her 30 years ago."  -Howard Kissel, NY Daily News "Mr. Short and the winning Ms. O'Malley do very nicely indeed by the lower-key wistfulness of the show's best-known song, 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again.'"  -Ben Brantley, The New York Times "'I'll Never Fall in Love Again'...[is] nicely performed by Short and especially by Kerry O'Malley, who plays his love interest and captures the song's delicate, lilting quality made famous by Bacharach muse Dionne Warwick...O'Malley is excellent at pumping emotion into her songs, as in 'Knowing When To Leave' and 'You've Got It All Wrong,' a duet with the talented Jenifer Lewis."  -Aileen Jacobson "Kerry O'Malley...has a rich voice and plays with an appealing combination of fragility and resilience."  -David A. Rosenberg, Backstage "[Kerry O'Malley] sang the role of Fran, the executive-dining-room hostess beloved by Chuck, with charm and vigor."  -Donald Lyons, The Wall Street Journal "The cast--particularly the supercilious Terrence Mann and the valiant Kerry O'Malley--revealed how much performing talent is available to our few talented book-writers and composers."  -Ross Wetzsteon, The Village Voice
