My overall impression

I found this musical comedy ended way too quickly — Not a hymn out of the bawdy “over the top” Book of Mormons, but a thoroughly delightful script with twists and turns in confessions and “come to Jesus moments” from the pulpit that will make you laugh loudly and go away grinning… and yes REJOICE, in the experience you were lucky enough to stumble upon.

Ben Stanton’s wonderful music ( still in my head ) compelled me to clap and sing along ( maybe next time) . It must have given Stanton freedom to be aware of Al Rahn’s extensive vocal range range — and performing with such skill that you could only sit back and enjoy. Obviously the work of a seasoned composer – the music has wide appeal and should be heard for years to come.

The creators may have chosen Hollywood Fringe at which to debut this play, but the quality of this piece is totally center stage
