This is a brand new production, and Gwendolyn should be proud of the audacious and intriguing premise. Initially positioned as a humorous vaudeville spirit act, the narrative closes well at the end, with a lovely homage.

I will be honest, not all parts of the script stuck the landing, particularly in the first half. It was a bumpy ride. As a new production, they'll probably want to do more development and re-work. But the seeds of warmth are there, the production has heart, and as the show wrapped up, you realize that this is a very innovative concept.
