Now, with help from a professional director, choreographer, voice coach, costume designer and three seasoned actors in the lead roles the inmates are in character, in step and (mostly) in tune. Ladies who couldn't remember their lines a few weeks ago are now getting all the laughs. The tiny brunet who spent dance practice painting her nails with Tipp-Ex can do a jig on stilts.
