Diane Nelson writes in her review of 'Nite Club' in The Union
Democrat, "Equity actor David Farkas is a spiffy Buck Holden, with his
Phillip Marlowe delivery and winning smile. He narrates the whole
review, and still finds the energy to dance and sing like a pro."
Playing the title role of Robbie in a musical version of The Wedding
Singer, David played guitar on stage for the first time, and created a
'likable, wholly credible character...' without copying Sandler's
screen portrayal.
