    • 1989 September 15, Scott Rosenberg, “S.F. stage composers get a reprise of sorts in ‘Everything’”, in San Francisco Examiner, 125th year, number 83, page C-11:
      As it is, with in-joky program bios and little in the way of song introductions, “Out of Hiding” brings its music into the light but leaves its creators in the shadows.
    • 1996 February 21, Nick Curtis, “The Self-made show of modern-day dropouts”, in Evening Standard, page 50:

    • 1996 May 16, Anna Maria Dell’oso, “Homage to hips and lips”, in The Sydney Morning Herald, page 14:
      Robert Altman’s Prêt-à-Porter took the world of Catwalk and made it into a great film about fame, media, dreams and image.
