I found it remarkable and named it to my top ten list for the year. A brilliant and very clever production.

I can't complain about any of the three different productions I've seen: Promenade Theatre - 1984, Chicago Shakespeare - 2002 and RoundaboutTheatreCompany - 2005.

I do admire the work of Amon Miyamoto.
He's a great choreographer/director.

Given the negative reactions to "La Cage Aux Folles" and the uncertainty at "Sweet Charity," I wouldn't be surprised if it does. I'm sure pulling for it!

Yes, Children Will Listen was one of the only performances I thought was weak.

Pacific Overtures was fantastic. It was great to hear the score in a theater.
