Karla Tonkich succeeds with the boys
This exuberant musical made a star of Robert Morse 50 years ago and still had the zing to turn Daniel Radcliffe from a dorky kid with a wand into the wizard prince of Broadway in 2011. It’s Mad Men put to music, complete with rotary phones, drinks cabinets, naked ambition and, of course, a knockout typing pool.
This is a whiz bang production with 36 all-singin’-all-dancin’ guys and goils backed by a 28-piece orchestra, a show you just won’t see in this town produced and performed with this flair and quality otherwise, and there are still tickets to be had. I wouldn’t wait too long to get yours.
