“New directions from the dazzlingly successful playwright who changed the very face of comedy on Broadway.”
-The New York Times
“Praises for the production values are also due to Stephen Flaherty for incidental music. This is the same composer who wrote the music for Once On This Island and the forthcoming Ragtime.”
