Otherwise, he would not have been able to lure Geoffrey Sherman to direct in his little playhouse. Mr. Sherman's resume is exemplary...

Such was not the case here, as this story was beautifully delivered on all fronts. The interacti...

In addition to his masterful musicology, he inserts a bit of whimsy along the way to London on Christmas Eve, 1843. Don't we all...
