There are enough men and women in the company, but they have little to do comparatively, excepting to follow a heavy book. Margaret Bennett plays multiple roles. The costuming is catchy. There are 24 girls in the chorus.
The songs are good.
Paree Lu Lu Under the Yum Yum Tree.
All the regular laughs of the performance arrive in the last act.
The first act is slow. The show needs someone to step in and take hold. It seems Fred Irwin has gone out of his way this season to give a show different from his usual burlesque performance.
