Once again, a beautifully boiled down production of a rarely performed Broadway classic is on show up close at the Hayes Theatre.
Although in this case it has only been boiled down a little, as the ensemble includes 18 members of the cast, and seven members of a hot band that are on stage surrounding the cast in a semi-circle.
That is a ratio of just under one cast member/musician for every four members of the audience!
