...for Anyone Can Whistle
Edward Hibbert, Jeff Blumenkrantz and John Ellison Conlee are infectiously high on the stench of their characters’ rottenness.

When
she and her charges (known as "Cookies") are turned away by Schub and
his cronies (played with appealing cartoonishness by Jeff Blumenkrantz
and John Ellison Conlee)..., Fay vows to reveal the plot herself.

Jeff Blumenkrantz gets the evening's
biggest laugh when he dons a mane of curly hair and some outlandish
'70s duds to transform himself into Kleban's Chorus Line
collaborator,
Marvin Hamlisch.

Jeff Blumenkrantz's Bud Frump, tall, loose-limbed and dim of mind, is a
cartoon figure made almost human by the breathtaking, last-minute ploys
by which Finch outmaneuvers him from the mail room to the chairmanship.

Charles Nelson Reilly turned Biggley's nephew Bud Frump into a smug,
portly dweeb. To equally good effect, Jeff Blumenkrantz makes him a
skinny, nervous and slightly foppish nerd, beset as much by ambition as
by incompetence.

...Jeff Blumenkrantz makes Frump, the hero's nemesis, into a joyous
three-dimensional grotesque, compounding equal parts of Charles Nelson
Reilly, Edward Everett Horton, and our own Michael Musto.

Jeff Blumenkrantz is especially good as the boss' obnoxious nephew, the
sort of '50s geek on which Elvis Costello modeled his image.

...special kudos perhaps to Jeff Blumenkrantz as that deliciously
odious streak of nepotism, Frump...

STAMOS MEANS “BUSINESS”
The splendiferous production as a whole – the staging is by Des McAnuff
– looks as bright and as lively as ever, and the rest of the cast
remains in place. Let me give special kind words to...Jeff Blumenkrantz
as that hysteric nerd, Frump.
Incidentally, if they ever need another Finch along the line,
Blumenkrantz might be an intelligent choice. (Is he, by any chance, a
TV star?)

Also among the missing: Jeff Blumenkrantz, who comes close to stealing How to Succeed as
the
deliciously malicious Bud Frump....

Rob Marshall is the choreographer, and his most relishable work comes
in the athletic numbers which feature the endearingly bumbling baseball
team [including] the outstandingly gawky and clownish Jeff Blumenkrantz.

Jack Spratt-skinny Jeff Blumenkrantz is a hoot as the hapless pitcher,
Smokey.
