This is a very challenging script for the director, and I was impressed more by where Greif excelled than where he fell short. I'll avoid spoilers, but I can say: there are many locations, and the sense of those different spaces is complicated and integral to the story; getting the cast into and out of each scene change is unusually complicated; the group of girls must create a sense of ensemble, and also have several musical spots, but in-tune and out. All of these challenges were met handily. The caveat is that the front row is a terrible place to sit. Many scenes are played on side platforms, or in the aisle between the front and back sections of the house, and though I have no special physical challenges I found them very difficult to see, no matter how I twisted in my seat. I would say that the best seats in the house are the front row of the back section.
