“The quality of the production is evident from the opening number, 'Bless Your Beautiful Hide,' delivered by Richardson in a big, rich baritone. Elsewhere, this solid singer scores in the dramatic 'A Woman Ought to Know Her Place' and the fast-talkin’ 'Sobbin’ Women.' Karla Shook is the gold standard of Mac-Haydn performers. She can dance with the ensemble, as in 'Goin’ Courtin’ '; reveal character in a song ('Love Never Goes Away'); and mine the irony of the moment with a raised eyebrow. Under Joseph Patton’s sharp direction, she and Richardson find each scene’s internal beat. ”
