I cannot heap enough praise on the superb production of this musical.Chrystal De Grussa gave a very powerful performance as did the rest of the cast.The comic scenes were very funny and choreography outstanding. We had a very enjoyable evening. Debbie Reynolds appearance gave the play an added dimention .
