Another great review, this time from Lee Hartgrave, and he predicts many awards coming for the show.  We hope so!  Warning: contains some spoilers.  Here’s a highlight:

“”The score is magical. …It sure as hell brings tears to your eyes. A mere musical phrase or dramatic moment brings out memories of all the times of our lives. This Cast Gives a performance of astonishing complexity and passionI expect that this show in San Francisco will also receive many nominations from the Critics Circle. ”
