What I liked

I loved when I could see each cast members’ personalities come out, yet they remained a really solid unit all the way through. Great work!

The Scarlett O’Hara casting story was kind of a perfect narrative to use for exploring male power and female identity in Hollywood.

I loved the beautiful singing voices. The live percussion onstage and stylized movement was hypnotic.

What I didn't like

I did find myself straining to hear a couple of the women … mostly I think this cast can really trust the work and bring out their energy, within it, even MORE.

Plus, I believe there’s a LOT more humor to be mined! But I saw their 1st show …. I can only imagine this (already) beautiful and solid show becoming even moreso through the run!!

My overall impression

Wonderful ensemble work, beautiful movement & singing. It felt odd, at first, joining up the Gone With The Wind casting story with this kind of physical theater, but it worked!
