They had their characterization down so good I forgot that the show would soon be over and they would be real peopile again. The story goes on as Ruby yearns to be a big star on Broadway and Mona tries everything in her power to stop that from happening. Then they find out that the theater is closing down and a roller rink is being built instead, so they have to find somewhere else to present "Dames at Sea." It was like a musical within a musical.

The musical talent was there, but Mona seemed a little uncomfortable singing and maneuvering around the stage at the same time. As for her acting, she did a superb job being stuck-u- p rather than acting cute. Ruby and Dick were possibly the best tap dancers. During "Its You" they zoomed across in a snazzy little 30's fashion. Shirley It was great. Temple-isFiona (Lara Oyler) and Agnes h. (Teria Shearer) expressed their characters dancing through rather than spouting off lines, but they pulled it all together by making the musical seem more real. The more people the better. Leave it to Boyd H. Wolz and the construction crew to create an awesome set. From green (were they supposed to be mutants?) flying cupids to a glittering moon chair, the design was original and, well, interesting. I especially liked the human silhouettes in the background during the number "That Mister Man of Mine." Certainly, a different idea, but, hey, it kept me entertained! The costumes looked like a lot of work had gone into them. Each cast member had at least two changes of clothing. Everyone did a great job as such a small cast. The dancing was in sync, voices were loud and clear, orchestra sounded great, and no forgotten lines were brought to my attention.
