"The chemistry between McCauley and Sumerak produced fine theatrical moments. This production is brave, well sung... first-rate performers ... better than most non-Equity dancers one sees."

"What a powerful show!! I had never seen it before so I didn't know what to expect - it was brilliant... a tough storyline to carry through and it was done with ease. I also enjoyed listening to the talented orchestra. Bravo."
