Intermission Magazine published an interesting Little Women review:

"Michael Shawn Lewis amuses as the stuffy and repressed Professor Bhaer. He's Jo's only honest critic, and the sparks you see developing between them are a clear foreshadowing of the love that will eventually develop. Lewis does nice work with Clark on the lovely tune 'Small Umbrella In The Rain'."
