    8. Critical Comments:
    A quirky musical, another male driven show but there are
    good solos for older women (Edward Blooms wife). The songs
    have very creative lyrics because the subject matter is
    absolutely fantastical. It has a strong ensemble so the chorus
    parts are full and intricate. The songs have a very folksy feel to
    them.
