Today was an absolutely breath-taking performance on all counts from every single member of our cast. I just want to stand on top of the tallest building and shout, "
EVERYONE must take a few hours of their lives and come see this MASTERPIECE!" Stephen Schwartz has just outdone himself with artful tunes that can be whistled as you walk away, wonderful segues from section to section incorporating drama and comedic timing seamlessly. His music is informed and rich in texture. There is meaning behind each theme. I have begun to connect some thematic material and the revelation of his story-telling threads is exhilarating. The small invited audience really seemed to pick up on these same feelings. We could all tell that they were "with" us every step of the way. Lauren Flanigan is completely committed and captivating, Kim Josephson plays Lauren's torn husband with aching intensity. The children in the show are just spectacular actors and singers. Here's the beginning of a long but exciting run!
