The turn is nicely produced, the settings looking immaculate (the act has been out about two months), but the cast was not happily chosen. The main fault appears to be that in selecting the company whoever cast it was more concerned in having his players resemble the originals in the Princess company of "Eddie." The act is entirely too long. In squeezing the play into a
playlet the story is maintained, but a lot of the "meat" has been discarded. All of the best numbers are present, and they still sound pleasant. Seems reasonable that even with the present cast the turn can be improved by restaging and speeding. There are eight choristers, rather a good looking bunch, who aren't given much to do.
