Whether the acquaintance with the musical was casual, or on the verge of obsession – like the group of young girls in matching custom-made costumes that resembled 18th century men’s fashion – the feedback in response to this current production was mutual. To borrow from the words of Aaron Burr in “Dear Theodosia,” it blew us all away.
