My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance - it was wonderful, One of the best Broadway shows of the last decade - not to be missed ! Great voices and talent, marvelous staging and, of course, a great story. Those in the audience were a buzz with delight ! Youll not forgive yourself if you miss this show.
