LOL!
Have you seen this production? Angelina Kelly is a superstar. There is no way they’ll replace her.
“…audience falls so instantly and madly for a pint-sized actress named Angelina Kelly, playing the secondary role of playground busybody Emily.
Never mind that precocious little Angelina, in glasses that make her eyes look as large as plums, is preternaturally cute and funny. … From the second she enters partway through Act 1, Angelina's character feels solidly, incontrovertibly alive.”

“Future star (and I mean it; this kid is going to be huge) Angelina Kelly, is sweet, smart and steals every scene she is in as Danny's only friend. She laps up the chance to play the odd kid like cream, and the only disappointing thing about her performance is that there isn't more of it.”

“…the real stars of "Ace" are the two spunky youngsters… Kelly is too cute for words as the nerdy sleuth and amateur psychologist. She knocks home runs with her two perky numbers”

I was afraid of this.
I'm glad I did not post a review in previews because, having attended opening night, it is an entirely different show. That said, the trimming still didn't go far enough.
The score is beautiful, and the performances are excellent. Jill Paice (Elizabeth) lights up the stage early in act 2 and overwhelms with heartbreak and anger at it's end. Emily Skinner is both funny and fragile. Christiane Noll's (Ruth)voice soars.

In no way did I want to discourage or delay anyone from seeing this show. As I said, I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing it again.

Been lurking on these boards for ages, and finally took the plunge.
I enjoyed ACE last nite. And yes, there are issues. (Saw Matt in JB, and loved him, but the melodramatic acting...) I think it's only fair to wait out preview week before posting a real review.
What caused me to actually register and leave a comment was the previous reviewer's mention of Angelina Kelly.
