[...] The men in elegant Fred Astaire trousers, women in summery flounces, this company looked terrific dancing to yet another danceable tune whipped up by sound designer and melody guru Luke Shepherd. The charm just didn’t stop."

"Michael Schweikardt’s scenic design and Erin Reed Carter’s gorgeous costumes complete this inviting world. The stage gradually fills with color as Carter dresses the company in playful striped bathing costumes, elegant suits, flowing summer dresses with matching parasols, striking red-and-black dinner attire and more. Every scene feels thoughtfully composed, creating a production that is as visually inviting as it is entertaining."
