“Despite Greg Shilling’s self-effacing director’s notes, he clearly did a great deal more than tell his actors where to stand and why – the pacing is steady, key moments are never over or underplayed, and the comedy is not allowed to overshadow deeper themes– all marks of skillful direction and close attention to detail. Even a small Mother’s Day crowd filled the theater with laughter, and this is definitely not a show to miss.”

“And when the westward pilgrimage pauses from the silliness, the musical exudes surprising charm. In fact, the two show-stopping numbers are irony-free ballads sung by the mother, Dorinda Toner, and the daughter, Liz Ghiz.

“That says a lot for director Greg Shilling’s steering, and the skill sets of his actors, some of whom play talking bison, a British lobster and a murderous ox.”
