Also Meghan Picerno (recently in "Candide" where she was wonderful) is just terrific. Rachel De Benedet does a mean "The Saga of Jenny." I loved the red dress she wore. Michael Halling not only sings well but acts well, too. Some songs you will know such as "Mack the Knife," while others will be new to you. The song "How Can You Tell an American" is so relevant to today. The talk back after the matinee show teaches you a lot. York Theater does it again!... Read more Read less
