a great period piece with melodic writing and well fleshed-out believable characters; hoped it leaned more often on the jazz club setting itself, something a bit more musical and lighthearted but that was my own expectation
also loved hearing the author speak on the play's genesis after listening to the play itself, that peek behind the curtain marries the experience the audience goes through with the intention and heart of the work
