...Bill (Matt Romero '02), a Princeton-educated mobster with a heart of gold. This cursory plot summary barely covers the first half of the first act: the rest of the show is taken up by characters second-guessing and double-crossing each other left and right, all to the tune of faux swing hits and blues standards. Add to this complicated plotline a sizeable cast of characters and a multitude of musical numbers (from a musical period that's not that difficult to do but pretty damn difficult to do well) and you've got one ambitious project...
...years, I have suspected that others among the 88 million families who take annual vacations know magical ways to transform an unruly brood into a modern version of the Von Trapps, the tune-whistling family that managed in The Sound of Music to cross Central Europe on foot, without whining over whose turn it was to help the baby over the Alps.

Unfortunately, when the composers did hit upon a pleasant tune, the cast often seemed to choose their own, making it up as they went along. Variable vocal strength tended to muddle the lyrics in larger numbers, evoking a vague sentiment rather than clearly expressing anything that resembles a plot...
