Another wonderful Facebook audience member comment:
Had the best day with my son, Twain.
Took him to see Lacc TheatreAcademy's production of Lil' Abner.
Lil' Abner is a great musical that almost no one does anymore.
Not because it is dated or the songs are bad.
(Actually the book is hilarious and the songs are first rate)
But because the show is too long and has 55 people in the cast.
The TheatreAcademy production shortened the show and shrunk the cast.
Which helped focus the humor and the story.
It was beautifully directed by a Bruce Kimmel, who is to the cast album what Quincy Jones is to pop music.
(At last count he has produced 186 CDs!!!!)
The cast was first rate.
And it was a thrill to see so many actors I have discovered in one show.
Of course to my son all he cared about was the story.
At intermission he begged me not to leave.
I told him it was just intermission and he shouted "Hooray!"
There is no better review than that!
