Review: [title of show] in Cleveland
by Robert Taylor - May 02, 2009

So the notion of creating the show without the original cast is, at best, tricky and, at worst, suicidal. And yet the first regional production of ?[title of show]? opened last night at Playhouse Square?s 14th Street Theater and did just that.
