This is a heavy piece with a great cast. Set a century ago, it is absolutely relevant to the nation as it is today. Everybody had great voice, including T.R. Knight, whom I had only seen in on television.

Personal note, I tended to enjoy the fast paced numbers more than the more operatic pieces, that's a mood thing, not a slight on craft. The lighting design was severe.(Intentionally) which definitely painted the tone of the emotional canvas of the play.

Definitely spawned some post show discussions.

Great production in a perfect small theater. The cast did an excellent job with such a tragic story. It was wonderful and I would recommend it highly.

This event was soo disappointing. To have a musical directed by a choreographer and so poorly musically directed did a dis-service to both the actors and the audience.
