What I liked

I liked the story-telling of the lyrics, and the blending of those lyrics into nicely-chosen musical tones, tempos and moods. You could tell that each word was carefully chosen and contemplated, leaving the listener to enjoy catchy yet smooth phrasing. The actors enunciated and sang well – you could tell these were real pros. They brought the wonderful story and songs to life that left everyone impressed and amazed! Really looking forward to the full production.

What I didn't like

It could be longer! Had such a great time at this show!

My overall impression

I loved so many things about this show, I don’t know where to start! The interesting multi-generational story line sets forth almost simultaneous feelings of both joy and sadness, perfectly setting up the catchy musical numbers that leave the audience members happy and smiling. The dynamics between perfectly-cast actor-singers was a real treat – this show is ready to go places. I loved the musical harmonies and the singing-in-the-round numbers. This show is an all-around winner!
