The musical alent showcased in Westems version is unmistakably well-developed. With the help of Brian Hissong, an actor from New York who appeared courtesy of Actor's Equity Association, the musical talent was taken to a new level. While the play did last around three hours, the music and unmistakable personalities expressed on the stage allowed for the patrons in the audience to watch a real gem. When the musical season starts up again in the fall, the musical talent will have changed due to graduating seniors, but there is no doubt that Western Carolina University Musical Theater Program will produce another season of excellent productions.
