What a treat to hear the songs composed so long ago and still familiar today - I particularly enjoyed the sweet story, too. The staging of 1890s Irish tribute plays seemed lush and I guess true to history - the backdrops and dancing really entertained. William Scanlan, portrayed by William Frawley, turned out to be the most unexpected bit of the story and his acting rang true. A comic bit of Scanlan's voice being provided by Morgan, as he drifted about backstage to 'project' through the scenery to the audience really made me LOL. Lots of fun to be had here and it's a fun show, even without Jack Carson! Extra nod to George O'Brien, a RL physical culture buff who portrayed Duke Muldoon, an historical physical culture buff.
