The creative team and the cast brought me into their 1960's South Carolina world - of the bee-keeping sisters, and of Lily, Rosaleen and Zach - with humor, with fear, with joy and with pain. I've rarely felt so involved in a story - my senses were heightened throughout the show. It is thrilling theater. Highly recommend for anyone. I am a fan of both Duncan Sheik and Susan Birkenhead and their music and lyrics fit beautifully. Lynn Nottage is a great playwright and Sam Gold's direction is spot on. LaChanze, Eisa Davis, Saycon Sengbloh and Elizabeth Teeter are standouts in a terrific cast.
