Lustig and Ginsburg lend beautiful vocals in this musical and their comedic timing is spot on. One can't wait to find out what's to become of this couple on their first date.
Wakeford, fresh off his role as Bert in Mary Poppins will leave you with "The Bailout Song" in your head and truly steals the scene as Casey's best friend. Dorney, Oristano, and Wilcox transform into characters that will leave you thinking how much you know someone "like that"-- a true feeling of relativity of sorts.
