I could change the tickets- but not sure which is a better choice- for her and for me- both."
I know that the book of ATP has received some criticism, but it was based on the book that Otis Williams helped write and so there were some constraints on Morisseau in terms of how she structured the musical. But there are some very moving elements of the story. I think it's the best jukeboxer since Jersey Boys.
