"The Playhouse, however, is adept at masterfully deploying its own wealth of talent and inventiveness. The cast of its production includes some of Portland's most beloved actors, many of them also intermittently functioning as the show's band."
"Director Brian Weaver and his creative team know how to deploy all of this energy - and a rotating youth cast requires some skill at that - into something magical."
