8. Critical Comments:
A quirky musical, another male driven show but there are
good solos for older women (Edward Blooms wife). The songs
have very creative lyrics because the subject matter is
absolutely fantastical. It has a strong ensemble so the chorus
parts are full and intricate. The songs have a very folksy feel to
them.
