My latest assignment for the British
Theatre Guide is a review of “Say

lovely performances, especially from Lynn Hunter and musical theatre actress Gillian
Kirkpatrick; but it was let down by some soapy dialogue. Which, of course,
doesn’t mean it won’t be the “bums-on-seats” success the Sherman needs…
