The final character in the six-person cast is Louis Hobson (playing two different doctors).
This is one talented ensemble.
And the contemporary score is so wonderful I wanted to buy the CD to listen to on the way home.
I found myself sitting in the theater after the curtain marveling at this production. Do not miss the opportunity to see this ORIGINAL musical. Don't let the subject scare you.
Pick-up the wonderful four page Study Guide to the play in the lobby.
