‘The whole cast were exceptional tonight, and they all brought their unique musical stylings to the show. One member of the cast, Rhiannon Hopkins, brought quite a few, with multiple lyrical performances as well as stints on the piano and saxophone. She certainly took the M.V.P. of the supporting cast medal for me tonight.’
