...whole production bristles with talented contributions which stager Worthington Miner has welded into a highly animated, pleasingly smooth and sure-paced vehicle for the bright talents of Ray Bolger, Luella Gear, Tamara Geva, Doris Carson, Monty Woolley and a galaxy of well constructed demoiselles. The book represents the combined efforts of Messrs. George Abbott and the skilful team of Rodgers and Hart who have also supplied it with a variety of tuneful and well-worded songs. The accent is definitely on the dancing which has been supervised by George Balanchine, the eminent choreographer...
