What I liked

Greedy McCreedy definitely breathed life into this play with his comedic relief of timing, sarcasm, and all around witty personality. The music was very nice and backed up with some very beautiful and talented vocals from each cast member.

What I didn't like

Other than music was great, it off and drowned out some of the voices of the characters. When there wasn’t music some of the characters were hard to understand because of their soft voices. I wish the storyline had a little more flow to it, because it seemed to be a bunch of mini stories within one story. The transitions between each story wasn’t very clear as well.

My overall impression

This was a cute and creative way to give a short history lesson of New York. The music was great and there are a lot of impressive voices within the cast. I only wish the story had a clear focal point versus a bunch of mini stories that didn’t really give much substance into each relationship.
