Was very enjoyable. GCT crew always does an admirable job of staging with the limited space available. The leads were great - the actors portraying Curly and Jud were particularly good, capturing and exuding the essence of their respective characters with great showmanship. GCT might want to explore varying the female lead in their productions, however. Although the lead playing Laurie is a very accomplished and talented singer/actress, she's also played the lead on the last two or three productions at the theater. In order to breathe some new life into their productions, they should acquire at least one more female lead and then rotate them to avoid the overexposure of one which can lead to boredom with the company.

I'd forgotten how very dated this musical is (I actually cringed in a few places), but it was a well-sung, well-acted, enthusiastically presented production. Bravo to GCT!

We enjoyed the show very much. Thought the cast was great and the dancing was great use of the small stage.
