Here’s what BroadwayWorld.com’s Don Grigware says: “It’s guaranteed fun, extra high on entertainment, and it incorporates Broadway standards both classic and contemporary, with a bevy of great singers on board. If that isn’t enough, the structure is laid back and spontaneous, allowing one to sit back, relax and just savor the sounds.” Check out the review here:
