Moving, fun, full of joy and humor
"I cannot for the life of me understand why this show is closing - it was absolutely fabulous! The music was infectious and the story is compelling but funny.

I hope this production finds another home if Broadway isn’t working out, it deserves to be seen and enjoyed!!!"
