My overall impression

We arrived with high expectations that were met and surpassed. The show is sharp, chest-spasmingly funny, beautifully paced, and exceedingly well played. It isn’t easy to write or perform satire/tribute/parody/burlesque, and the cast pulls it off without pausing to catch a breath. Moving at high speed (including some remarkable choreography!), the play could easily have gone over the top; it doesn’t There is a kind of delicacy of touch even in mordant moments (Beth dies!), and in the self-referential humor. I’m recommending the show to everyone I know and hoping it has a long and successful run!
