"...These attributes shine through in a revival that opened this weekend, directed by Peluso and Anya Kremenetsky.

"...History Theatre presented the world premiere of Orphan Train to a rousing welcome in 1997, and has brought the musical back to its stage several times since, most recently in 2007. Nine years later it is back as History Theatre's holiday season offering.
