Clever, Entertaining, Refreshing, Enchanting, Fun!

See it if You are love Rahl Dahl, and want to see a great book as a near perfect musical. It was charming, silly and poignant. A definite must see!

Don't see it if want a heavy drama, don't like musicals. Want a sweeping score. - The score is perfect for the show, but doesn't hold up as well alone.
