Click title for review. Go. Read it. Read all the audience reviews. Good. Now listen up all you New Yorkers (and those close enough to go see it), get your tickets NOW!


Good. Now I want to say something: John Lloyd Young ~~ I met this kid. He's nice as hell. Couldn't have told you if he could act, though. He was an understudy in the New Jersey production of Drawer Boy . He was also the theatre's bus driver for that run. (Bringing the actors out from the city, and taking them back after the play.)

That play wished to go to Broadway. Perhaps they made a mistake letting him be the understudy. . . .
