...talented leads almost redeem this lackluster show. Vincent Yao Adzovie shines in the part of Lejoka-Brown, enlivening this production with his timing and enthusiasm. Christine Omodi-Engola convincingly portrays the stabilizing force of the show, Mama Rashida. Although Abigail Kolodny, as Liza, offers the audience some priceless facial expressions, it soon becomes apparent that these are a dime-a-dozen, and she quickly uses up the few she has.

Whenever they can, however, she and her family take advantage of New York's theaters, museums and zoos, those "good things" about...
...actually come to life and play a convincing love story. Clementine is charming but alarming, like most Presidents, and Guy, a writer blocked by prudence and the Secret Service, is rueful and funny. He successfully conveys his secret to the reader: why First Ladies' portraits look that way -- why Abigail Powers Fillmore, for instance, "looks like she has just been induced, for the good of the nation, to eat a dozen mud pies...
