Beyond my expectations! I was so caught up with the emotion at the end of the show that it took me a while to bring my self together and stand up to applaud with the rest of the audience. The actors were very talented, the set was well thought out and the director of the musical did a fabulous job! Never a dull moment, only quality acting and singing! I highly recommend it!!!
