...popular culture. The only songs that don't pick up are the slower, less familiar ballads like Porter's "What is This Thing Called Love?" from Wake Up and Dream Unchoreographed, they must rely on the talent of the singer--McIntosh--which, while strong, is not outstanding enough to sustain the show...
...OTHER real weakness is Andrew Garrett's aquiline Becket, whose performance has an "almost good enough" quality that can't sustain a play that trucks in religious certitudes.

Writers Kimi Peck and Dalene Young do not know how to sustain their story beyond the initial exposition, and they are not much better at writing characters. The two teenagers' love interests (Armand Assante and Matt Dillon) are such bland hunks that the stars must play the romantic scenes in a near vacuum. Most of the campers are stereotypes out of Meatballs...
