Looky here! A short review!!

Only because I am still held in the thrall of the MAGNIFICENT production I was lucky to attend last night.

Suffice it to say: This is a superb production of a superb musical. I cannot think of a more timely piece to produce, given the current political climate. The subtle manner is which the US imperialism is lampooned is delightful.

Big kudos to director John Milson, musical director Richard John (whose 4 piece band have worked wonders with a dense score), and the cast and crew. If you can get tickets, do so. If you can't, find someone who has got tickets, beat them over the head and steal the tickets from them. You mustn't miss this!

Eliot McCann (who is ready to retract the advocation of violence stated above.... I know how many lawyers read this site...)
