Sitting next to the sound booth, the mixing was poor. Some singers were too hot and others hardly heard at all--most notably as actors transitioned from back stage (personal and omnidirectional mics) to front stage (presumptively just personal mics). The right speaker volume was proud at a disagreeable level.

The large cast of 20ish, was efficient in their movements and delivered their lines timely and without error. The audience would have benefited greatly by a spotlight trekking changing singers.

The writing could have been abbreviated; the introduction of characters and plot took 25 minutes to define the principles, their angles of interest, and their respected impediments. Thereafter, the plot quickened with humor, but the polish of performance diminished with regard to the singing. The dancing was spectacular.

At $92/couple w/ chairs, we could have forgone the aroma of skunk which visited the outdoor venue. The aforementioned considered, the overall performance was good and we'd be willing to entertain an indoor performance.
