Posted: 3/25/06 at 6:41pmI went to see the show on opening night, what a pleasant surprise! I was totally expecting a children's show, since that is how they billed it, but it is for adults too. I totally enjoyed it, it made me laugh and cry(multiple times). The story is so touching! The cast is fabulous from top to bottom. Becca Ayers is perfect as Sarah, and you get truely emotionally involved in wanting everything to work for the sake of the children and the father. The sets are simple, but they are enough that you feel you are in each location as the scenes change. The 3 piece orchestra is just enough to fill the space in the Lortel without overpowering. This is a great show! You can take children to it and they will love the humor, but adults can love it too, if the laughter and tears were any indication of how moved the audience was opening night.
