Great singing, Rock-gospel, Quirky set, Highly entertaining, Original

See it if you want to see how quickly 90 minutes can slip by. Tender yet comical.

Don't see it if you seek only fluff or big production numbers.

Great singing, Entertaining, Ambitious, Clever, Thought-provoking

See it if Gospel and R&B music light your fire & touch your soul. Bio play w/music. SEE IT when it returns. K Lewis & R Jones were vocally perfect.

Don't see it if like me you don't enjoy shows w/out intermissions. I survived another one, barely. Bittersweet and VERY surprising ending. Well worth it.
