Augustine and Walsh attack an inconsistent text with ambition and energy. It is rare to see a musical that is smart, but the direction and choreography of this production make it just that.

My friends thought that, for the general good, the eventual loser in this presidential mess ought to be ostracized. I took the idea a step farther. I wondered if it might be possible to send both the loser and the winner on 10-year leaves...
