“…the handsome dude, “Sid”, crisply and energetically sung by Sean McDermott. Broadway enthusiasts will remember him as “Chris” in Miss Saigon. His second solo album of Broadway hits, My Broadway, will be released this year. Ideally cast as “Sid” in this Pajama Game, his rendition of “Hey. There” (yes, as recorded by Rosemary Clooney, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Johnny Ray) has to be the finest to date.”
“Sean McDermott is perfectly cast as the good-looking new factory superintendent women are absolutely smitten with.”
– The Republican-American
“McDermott, who looks like a comic-book hero with rolled-up sleeves, does especially well in a duet with himself on “Hey There”.
– Malcolm Johnson, The Hartford Courant
“Sean McDermott, who is square-jawed handsome in a J. Crew way, plays the stolid hero. He does get to break loose for a few seconds in one number, doing an Elvis homage, swiveling his hips and singing into a beer bottle. He’s also lucky enough to sing the show’s best-known tunes, “Hey There,” which was cleverly designed as Sid singing a duet with his own voice played back on a Dictaphone.”
– Kristina Dorsey, The Day
“McDermott’s bluesy early rendition of “A New Town Is a Blue Town” followed closely by his self-scolding “Hey There,” which evolves into a duet between himself and his Dictaphone, prove the strength of his soaring tenor.”
– Phyllis S. Donovan, The Record-Journal
