Absolutely, hands down, best show I have ever seen!!!! LOVED it!!!! And Layton Williams, WOW!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! I’m in awe…
I laughed, I cried, I danced, it was AMAZING!
This is a don’t miss show. Lots of laughs, fabulous music and dance but also tugs at your heartstrings. John McCrae gives a knock out performance and is teamed with a talented cast; the audience was cheering, on their feet.
Definitely worth seeing. Great story, great cast, great entertainment, and so well put together. John McCrae gives a stunning performance and Josie Walker knocks it out of the park!
