Megan Hilty is at the top of her game, giving her all to this role. She's a talented performer and, in my opinion, perfectly suited to the role of Madeline.
- Jennifer Simard as Helen was a wonderful foil to Hilty's Madeline. Madeline is very over-the-top, and Helen, at least for the first half, is a poised and boring woman. Personally, I preferred Jennifer's voice to Megan's, even though both were excellent. I felt Jennifer articulated better. This was my first time seeing her in a production, and I was amazed.
- The scene where Madeline gets pushed down the stairs is so cleverly done. I'm not sure if Megan Hilty had a stunt double for that scene, but it looked like she did it to me. If anyone knows more about the technical aspects of this part, I'd be interested in learning more.

Madeline and Helen, locked in a lifelong battle for beauty and the spotlight, stumble upon a magical potion promising everlasting glamour.

I was curious to see how they were going to adapt the movie, and wondered if the dark humor would be glossed over. It didn't take long to have those concerns addressed and taken away! This is a funny show. The acting is excellent and the songs are very well done. We enjoyed every single minute. Bravo to the cast and crew! A+
