Simply the most amaturish collection of glop I have ever experienced. I would not give this "performance" the most basic credit for theatrical inventiveness and would suggest that all highway theater personnel re-evaluate their perceived goals including enthusiasm and artistic vision.Written on Aug 04 2010
