How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying 
The Barn Players, Inc.

I caught the Feb 26 performance and it was a perfect little Sunday getaway. The theatre is small and intimate, but has a cozy hometown feel.
The orchestra needed some tweaks on a few transition numbers seemed out of step at times.

Loved the mix of ages, sizes, and shapes of the characters & brightly painted set that morphed into different scenes - great use of space.

Total scene stealer goes to Alisha Garnier as Hedy LeRue! Anytime she was on stage the musical lit up. Certainly a triple threat to watch out for & it won't surprise me at all to see her on Broadway soon. From facial expressions to vocal quality and to absolutely taking it over the top - my pick for favorite.

Remainder of cast gave worthy performances and had a few surprising moments sprinkled in. Lots of laughs!!
