Enough stage business was crammed into the operetta's twenty-five minutes to fill a three-hour play, but somehow nothing seemed forced. Richard Watson as the jovial Judge and Gwyneth Cullimore as the charming but money-conscious Plaintiff helped to make the evening joyous for both the arrogant Savoyard and the man who merely likes a good tune and a good laugh...
