Also Michael Urie is sublime. Truly a tour-de-force performance. His scenes with Mercedes Ruehl are beautifully heart-breaking. Both of them alone are worth the price of admission!... Read more Read less

Also The cast, staging, and script are perfect. The score needs some rewriting in places to tighten the narrative but the crowd ate this show up. Even if they transfer to Broadway as is, audiences will go crazy for this. Right now-- it's a hilarious time at the theatre. With a few tweaks of the score, this could be the next Producers.... Read more Read less
