"Mr. Morehouse demonstrates a flair for flavorful, well-paced comic dialogue and a
keen command of the lore and spirit of a vanished Broadway era."

-Frank Rich, in his New York Times review of Morehouse's play, "The Actors."


"Ward Morehouse III writes of the pleasures and scandals, of the hard facts of running
a hotel and of its romance. The hotel comes off well in the hands of its appreciative
Boswell."

-The New York Times Book Review Section on Morehouse's book, "The Waldorf-Astoria: America's Gilded Dream."


"Ward Morehouse III is arguably one of the most fascinating people on the planet."

-Beatrice Williams Rude's profile in Black Tie Magazine


Veteran Broadway press agent Richard Kornberg said of Ward on the New York Post:
"He was very diligent in finding stories and announcing them. He listened. He found.
He had great contacts. So of course, it made the publicists crazy sometimes, because
you want to get the New York Times first. But Ward was the person that got everything;
he was the leader. He made everybody sit up and do their jobs...Ward was
really the man."
