Some opening night reviews of Jason:
"Mr. Danieley, who has the most exquisite tenor on Broadway, gives the song ["I Miss the Music"], its full emotional due."
-Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"Jason Danieley, as [Karen Ziemba's] ex-composing partner, handsomely sings the show's most moving ballad, "I Miss the Music", clearly Kander's tribute to his late collaborator [Fred Ebb]." -Linda Winer, Newsday
"The song ["I Miss the Music"], with its sweeping melody and simple yet eloquent words, takes on added poignancy these days. [Fred] Ebb died in 2004, and you can feel that loss during Jason Danieley's stellar rendition of the tune." -Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
"Jason Danieley, as a melancholy songwriter, brings a lump to the throat." -Jow Dziemianowicz, Daily News
"As Georgia's [played by Karen Ziemba] co-author and re-enamored ex-husband, there is Jason Danieley, as good a singing actor as you could wish for." -John Simon, Bloomberg.com
