The score is one of Sondheim’s finest...[and] is an excellent example of what could be called the ‘ebb and flow’ structure of Sondheim’s post-Sweeney musicals of the 80s.
As Franklin Shepard, Nathan Bouldin delivers a superb performance.

the important thing with a Sondheim show is the music (and the acting) and in this production’s case, both are solidSteven Stanley, StageSceneLA
Gary Romm’s efficient direction keeps the action lively.
[Nathan] Bouldin serves as a solid anchor for the production. He provides a sense of charm that makes the unpleasant protagonist somewhat likable. And his strong voice blends nicely with that of [Andrew] Block, who gets the most out of the script’s humorous moments.
The other memorable performance belongs to [Rachel Rawlins] Prescott, who shines in one of Sondheim’s strongest songs, ‘Not a Day Goes By.’Jeff Favre, Backstage West
