The second successful run of "Enchantments…The Planet in the Window" at Upstairs at Rose's Turn concluded in October, 2004. Here is what the critics said about it:

"On Saturday October 16th, I was downtown, first to catch Jude Treder-Wolff's "ENCHANTMENT'S ... The Planet In The Window" show at UPSTAIRS AT ROSE'S TURN (55 Grove Street, NYC - 1-212-366-5438 - http://www.rosesturn.com/ ) at 7:00 pm. Ms. Treder-Wolff has an amazing array of talents, which she alternates in this performance. She is a great "stand-up" style comic, with a number of "one-liners" that often stunned the room as the audience digested the witty and often pithy comments. She is also an excellent vocalist, and especially on the ballads, gave us treat after treat. She is also a creative arts psychotherapist, and brings to the show special insights and observations. Plus, one can see she gets special joy when she dons a nuns cap and changes into Sister Jude of the Impossible Situations. The show turns out to be a sort of one-woman variety show! Ian Herman was musical director for this performance (Wells Hanley will be at the piano for the rest of the show). Direction is by Erv Raible."

“In its beginnings, in Europe, cabaret carried social commentary on the times. Now Jude Trevor-Wolff has revived the tradition with her new show, Enchantments…The Planet in the Window, at The Duplex. Mixing music and monologue, and cavorting occasionally in costume, she has created an original show that flows with comedy yet carries an undercurrent of serious concern. The show includes a generous helping of songs, ranging from almost-anthems--for example, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s You’ve Got to Be TaughtFrom a Distance, and Joe Darion/Mitch Leigh’s Impossible Dream--to high humor, including John Wallowitch’s Cosmetic Surgery, William Spiven’s Operator, Get Me Jesus on the Line, and the Tom Lehrer chestnut, We’ll All Go Together When We Go. Drawing on her background as both a stand-up comic and therapist, and aided by Wells Hanley as music director and Erv Raible as director, Tredor-Wolff succeeds in helping us laugh and think at the same time.”
- Peter Haas, Cabaret Scenes


" ...a slick and inspired comical touch. With a comic delivery that is less biting than empathetic, and a vocal delivery that is smooth rather than textured, Treder-Wolff's song selections dovetailed neatly with her observations. "
- Elizabeth Ahlfors, Cabaret Scenes

"Immensely entertaining, moving effortlessly from song to stand-up…  insightful and funny, keeps her audiences laughing and identifying."
- Jan  Wallman, Applause, Applause

"Pure musical entertainment complimented by comedy and her delightful  perspective on how the world works."
- Laurie Lawson, Electronic  Link

"Combines standards with stand-up!"
- Time-Out New York

"Funniest Person From the Suburbs"
- Stand-Up New York

"Jude Treder-Wolff brings considerable comedy experience to cabaret..her show is well-written and funny! No frills delivery!!"
- John Hogland, BackStage

"Impressive! Hilarious! A therapist, Treder-Wolff used her vocation....to inspired comic effect. She  won us over in the first two numbers....with the quickly accumulated  good will of her warmly amusing personality, not to mention the smarly organized structure of her act...deftly directed by Erv Raible.  Its a solid blueprint for a winning nightclub act!
