My review: What an incredibly fun fun FUN time spent watching this production! This delightful, fantasy thrift Shop came equipped with an in-house piano player , Wally (Christopher Russell), song and dance man.. then it was added to the4 entertainment , the fabulous Rendel DeBose, playing a returned Veteran, Tyler.

I tell ya what.. if any thrift shop, locally, would have a regular piano man, I'd work my buns off to be his vocalist.. yeah, I could work a thrift shop as their 'house band'!! LOL

Anyway, in the ensemble, you'll notice below as I include the cast, that four of the actors play multiple parts.. yeah, when you watch the production, keep track of how many costume and personality changes there are in here. More added characters than SYBIL!!! and they keep them all straight.. different clothing, different accents, different wigs.. and I have to say, this is the best production for wig-wearing, I've ever seen.. good job!

I also have to give major props to Tom Ross Prather, who made us wait forEVER for his production that he wrote, and conceived and FINALLY brought to fruition and the stage for us to laugh uproariously over. You soooo rock, Tom!!! We are all most grateful that you finally got it written, designed and directed for our viewing pleasure.. if there is more where this came from.. OUT WITH IT!!!! Here is more background on Tom, from another wonderful review of all that is Off Broadway at the Broadway Palm Dinner theatre..
