Michael Kingston's acting and singing was pitch perfect! However, I was a bit confused by the casting of Marie. Rebecca Finnegan was very good in that role but she is noticeably older than PJ Powers which I interpreted to reflect reality - and an interesting twist on the real-life Marie/Fiorello relationship. After the performance, I reviewed the program (full of helpful historical information) and found that Marie was actually younger than Fiorello. I suppose this was a moment requiring supension of disbelief, but it still seemed off. Is the concept of multi-cultural casting now being extended to include age? Anyway, this bugged me and I wanted to mention it even though I hate to bring up such a delicate topic (especially as I approach a special birthday...) and I really hope that Rebecca Finnegan IS older than PJ Powers.
