I write articles for Examiner too so I wrote her when she posted the last one and we exchanged a few messages back and forth. Was so happy to see she saw the show and loved it! =)

It is, indeed, a nice review of the show. The critic gets most of it right. One minor thing though... As Max Baud is out on a medical LOA, Older Billy was played by Chris Howard. On the one hand -- it's nice to see the writer single out the performance of Older Billy in Max's absence -- even though Chris didn't get the credit. The understudies in this cast don't get near the credit they deserve for their excellent performances when they're "on the front line".

Excellent point ... I have written to the reviewer to see if he can correct the review to give credit to Chris Howard.
