Absorbing, Clever, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy an interesting story about a black girl growing up in deep south in the 30s. Very excellent performance by girl who played Sweetee

Don't see it if you don't like stories about Jim Crow South. The story does show how one can rise despite bad beginnings

Entertaining, Ambitious, Relevant

See it if if you want to see young actors/singers tell the story of blacks growing up in the south - not a new story, but always an emotional one.

Ambitious, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if U like to help incubate new works and young talent and appreciate the inspirational material buried in an incoherent book w pleasant tunes.

Don't see it if You expect more than amateur chops in singers and actors,ask what Patricia Birch was thinking when she directed this-it is not fully formed.

Bland, lacking, Great singing, Disappointing

See it if you want to see a mildly entertaining musical about an orphan singing troupe in the 1940's South, and all the hardships in a weak musical

Don't see it if you don't want to see a musical that should have been moving and heartwarming, but lacked that emotional punch and connection.

Ambitious, Confusing, Great singing, Talented young cast, Disappointing

See it if You want to see some young performers w/talent & charm in an, unfortunately, lost play. It has curious storyline which for is senseless/odd~

Don't see it if Was questioning safety/decisions by kid's ward throughout & found connections/decisions characters made baseless. Wants to b feelgood. Isnt.
