Lawrence Welk . . .
"The moment I heard Tom sing I felt he would be just right for our show. His exceptional baritone voice has been of tremendous help in brightening up our show and his six-foot five inches of Danish good looks haven't hurt either!" and, "Tom has become one of our "biggest" stars in more ways than one and is in constant demand to make personal appearances all over the nation. All of this makes me very happy and proud of him."

A Few Press Comments
The Sacramento Union
"A Rousing Oklahoma!". "Nothing in the show is sturdier than the performance of Tom Netherton in the role of Curly, by his own admission the most accomplished cowpoke in the Oklahoma territory.
Netherton reveals the biggest and the brightest of bass baritone voices and an ingratiating feel of the melodic line in the ballad, "Oh What a Beautiful Morning!"; a fine sense of pace in "The Surry with the Fringe on Top"; and perfectly realized sense of satire in "Pore Jud Is Daid." Along with his vocal gifts, he invests the role with an arresting cowboy swagger, even to appearing appropriately bowlegged."
The Virginia Gazette Ann Efimetz
"In my estimation, having Tom Netherton is a real coup. The name recognition among seniors is great, and he is an amiable and talented showman. Even if you have never heard of Netherton, I think people will be impressed by his talent and ability to engage an audience. Netherton opened his show with "A Whole New World," and followed with pop, standards and patriotic selections.
The number that sold it for him was when he came into the audience to croon to women. While singing "If Ever I Would Leave You," he pulled several women from their seats for serenading. The women selected seemed to bask in the attention. The audience also seemed delighted to see him up close.
Netherton has a friendly, warm demeanor that immediately endears him. It's the sign of a real pro when you can make the show you've done countless times fresh for each audience. He has such a nice guy personality, it would be hard not to like the show. Between songs, he tells personal stories that aim to engage the audience. I liked what I saw. I remember seeing Netherton on the Welk show. He looks remarkably the same, and has the same deep, resonant baritone that made him famous.
The Music Theatre will likely enjoy some great box office now that it has Tom Netherton as the crown jewel of its performance schedule."
