I thoroughly enjoyed this production at the PaperMill Playhouse. The standout is the choreography. This production has tremendous energy, great acting and a wonderful score. Ruby Rakos (although too old for the part) is amazingly talented and to just see her is worth the price of admission. Michael Wartella who plays the role of young Mickey Rooney is amazing especially during the school scene where I cannot remember a better better choreographed energized scene. Go see it . I am not much of a musical theater fan. But this was amazing
