Patter songs, topical jokes and absurd characters abound, and the part undergraduate, part professional cast makes the most of what they are given...
...touch, when Hilarion, Cyril and Florian crossdress, their ruffles match the gowns of their love interests. Something, however, went wrong with the choreography. Virtually all of the female chorus members move stiffly, as if they can only bend at the waist. They look odd and distract attention from the main action...
