The cast members need to pull off the triple threat of acting, singing, and dancing, while the creative team must produce the spectacle of a classic 1930s musical without letting it seem dated. In this production, both cast and creative excel at their respective tasks. In a show where dance is the real star, the choreography must be seamless and expressive. It works well, then, that Michael Susko acts as both director and choreographer. Susko uses the whole stage in forming...
