The musical comedy of a single man, surrounded by married friends.

This college production was very well done. A very talented cast that mostly performed very well. Lots of strong voices made the songs a treat to listen to.
Lead, Peter Snell, was very good as Bobby, though he did seem a bit one-dimensional as the play went along. Alyssa Schlageter as "Marta" was tremendous -- her singing voice strong and her looks perfect. Aside from the good looks and hip costuming, she had an incredibly strong singing voice.
Probably the best performance of the evening was put in by Kristina Perkins as "Joanne." She seemed to have the most, best-defined character and managed to maintain it all the way through. She had just the right bit of drunkeness and bitterness and lovability and honesty to keep us liking her.
The direction was a tad boring, even though the set managed to offer multiple levels.
The lighting was somewhat dull, but the costumes were incredible. I actually gasped as I saw the color-scheme and how well it all blended together.
A very well done performance.
