Schwarz was entertaining...his singing was not anything to write home about, however, he made up by bringing high caliber friends. Who needs more than 3 friends if they can sing like his friends. Award winning performers. After the initial slow pace, the performance of his friends drastically helped pull the show to a wow level. I'm so glad I hung in there to see his friends.

Some great singing, some familiar songs and some not so much. Some great behind-the-scenes stories from Stephen Schwartz. Liz Callaway and Scott Coulter in particular did some spectacular singing. The time flew by.
