The singing and acting was fantastic. Their strong beautiful voices brought me to tears several times. There was not a single weak performance among the large cast. Along with me, the crowd enjoyed the antics of the Inn Keeper and his wife which provided comic relief to a very sad tale. Besides being a great show, the turntable stage, the sets being wisked in and out before our eyes, the pit and the crew, and everyone involved...the word that comes to mind is....OUTSTANDING!!! One more weekend April 8, 9, 10. Come and be amazed at our young talent!
