12.16.06: Richard Ouzounian, The Toronto Star, review of "The Carol Project" TV special:
...Maria Dunn is a wonderful Tiny Tim, with a sweetness of voice and spirit that still never manages to cloy...everyone in the cast makes a deep impression and you come away thinking of the real meaning of Dickens' story, which is a major achievement after all these years.
12.15.06: Henrietta Walmark, The Globe and Mail, lists the "The Carol Project" TV special as her Critic's Choice for Tue Dec 19:
The tunes are eclectic in style and content, from bluesy to funky to Celtic to gospel, yet it all melds into a wonderfully entertaining whole. Two songs are especially memorable. Kenneth Brown's "The Men Who Toil," about the miners "who dig the deeps," and Maria Dunn's Tiny Tim song "God Bless Us Everyone"...
