The play was great! Everyone said it was even better than the first one (if that is possible).
I loved how the play was not a sequel - you couldn't say that one was better than the other becuase they were both different and both great!
When Beverly came out in her navy dress (identical to my Kelly Green one from 1969) and sang, my 4-year-old grandson whispered in his dad's ear: "Daddy, she is beautiful!"
It was marvelous! (This was written by a woman in Vintage clothing. She left Minneapolis about 1:00 am, drove to W. Central MN in the snow, and emailed this at 4:56 am before she left for work in Alexandria. SN)
Congratulations, Suzann, on another hit. I know this one will run for years!
