...alone to see they're giving work to Sarah Chalke, a.k.a. "Roseanne"'s second Becky, and the so-appealing-you-could-pinch-him Donald Faison, a.k.a. "Felicity"'s Tracy.) Best line of advice, from a character pushing a dead woman in a wheelchair: "If you push around a stiff, no one will ask you to do anything...
...Renaissance, baroque and classical music include works performed by adults on period instruments as well as a recital by elementary school students making a "joyful noyse" on recorders.

Utah and Oregon curtailed police powers to forfeit the assets of suspected drug users. Nine states have legalized medical marijuana, including Oregon...

Although some of the scenes make decent use of space on the stage (like the scenes in the Delphinian war room and the march to the final battle), other scenes make the actors not only seem stiff and unnatural, but rooted to the same spot. Furthermore, a valiant effort was made to make the singing as good as possible; however, at times, the actors do not harmonize, and at other points are unable to communicate the lyrics well (due to the number of words packed...
