Sad to say....saw it.......hated it....Horrible direction (groups moving around the stage aimlessly) generally weak cast overall (except for the role of Benny - could barely hear the solo numbers above the band - As one of those that pulls at the heart strings throughout, not once was compelled to feel for the characters that came across as detached from the others. A strong aspect of the show is the depiction of close relationships and an attachment to them - yet none of that really occurs.
GREAT ensemble, however. Yet, somehow, a great attempt of such a socially important show for such a small production company - So hat's off for the attempt.
