Did you think "Oh my gosh, something horrible is going to happen?" "No," she replied...
Most of the actors do credible work amidst the uneven material. O’Hara makes an appealing, if bland, Susan; Jack Noseworthy sings almost well enough as Dallas to offset his acting deficiencies; and James has enough range to hold down the center of a big Broadway musical, though one wishes he’d allow his voice more free reign...
