Entertaining / moving, Great set & lighting, Ambitious / promising book, Excellent musicians (on-stage band), Relevant lyrics / strong singing

See it if you're ok w/message-y shows. Fun original folk music played by great musicians helps to move the still thin work-in-progress script along.

Don't see it if you require perfected/finished shows w/elaborate moving sets & costumes. Still, can't beat the excellent on-stage band, & strong singing. Read more
