"...The individual elements are actually fine by themselves, but are odd together. Rather than creating a driving sense of momentum, the show, which has some lyrical moments, is often overtaken by confusion.

"...What's left, then, is a mismatched collection of loveliness. Jim Lichtscheidl delivers a deft blend of humor and heartache as one of Navarre's men who is not fully on board with his king's commitment to the ascetic life.

Emily King and Lucas Melsha are largely silent throughout the performance, but their choreographed courtship is sensual and sentimental, funny and fine."
