Most of the music was very nice but the script was very dated and the performances were very uneven...overall it was OK...wouldn't tell people to run out and see it...but it was a pleasant enough diversion.

Fun evening, great singing and dancing; could have used a brief intermission (e.g. when the sister appeared).

What we have here is a serious case of fun. DeBenedictis, Dyer and Carlisle have teamed up to provide us with 10 hummable, witty/poignant and well-presented musical numbers that make the most of mid-life reminiscing. The cast has uniformly good voices and they fill the house well with solos and ensemble work. Kelly Mantle is batting 1.000 with Jo, a big-hearted, scotch-swilling tranny whose impeccable timing makes the most of those Rocky Horror lips, Crawford eyes and flouncy, Cher-like moves (I know flouncy ain't a word, but it ought to be.) Steven Connor is such a natural that you forget he's playing a role (he IS playing a role, right?) Chase McCown charms with just the right amount of goofy sweetness in his "sensitive" portrayal (though I'd like to see him loosen up a bit). Devlin delightfully shocks with her transformation from dowdy, "oh she's the straight guy" presence to "what-a-voice!" performer when she starts to sing. Others bring big voices, too, including Carmen Miranda devotee Herrera, "hear me in the rafters" Hirschi, warmly avuncular Warnock and the Felix Unger-like, fussy Williams. The downside to this show, unfortunately, is the writing outside of the musical numbers (except for Mantle's lines which are always a hoot). How could Dyer be such an inspired lyricist, but fail to carry over that inspiration to his dialogue? This team might consider a musical review next time around to better showcase their innate abilities. If they do, I'll be first in line for tix.

Although I "really liked" this play, as a director and avid theatre goer I think the director of this production should sit down and watch his work. Some of the scenes were blocked poorly, and the timimg was off as in ok whose turn is it to speak and should I speak loud enough for the audience to hear. The writing is very good and the songs and dance numbers are terrific. There were two understudies the night I saw it so be sure that at least the sex change character is on and its a guy not a female playing a male sex change character. I did tear up a few times however.
