What the company does here is create a world of uber-reality by stepping in and out of their roles to present themselves in a play intended to pry laughter out of a melodramatic situation. The level of success at the Majestic is as good as it gets... anywhere. The show is most enjoyable.
Your reviewer’s words, nor any critic’s for that matter, cannot sufficiently describe the intimate sharing of a lieder concert, much less an extraordinary one like this.
