Press Reviews
"A cornucopia of corn-fed pleasures…James Sugg's score is folksy and a toe-tapper even if your music tastes run more toward Beyoncé and Kanye than Shania and Martina. Mr. Posner tempers the laid-back bluegrass vibe of the music with lyrics that poke fun at the very conventions and stereotypes the musical celebrates. The result is a show that is homegrown and highly polished fun.“ —Washington Times. ”A rapturous celebration of country folk and folkways.“ —Washington Post. ”…a high-spirited evening for the entire family…a bouncy bluegrass score."
— Talkin' Broadway
