Delightful, Great acting, Refreshing, Great staging, Great singing

See it if you like a traditional book musical with a delightful score. Unfortunately it closes soon, which is a damn shame!

Don't see it if you expect or prefer the "musical extravaganza." A few sections of clunky and contrived dialogue weighed down an otherwise wonderful show.
