They have a cast of eighteen, and the six-piece band is not "blue grass" sounding, as I recall. (But rather sounds like a full orchestra down in that pit.) Comparing the song list from their program to what's listed on the original cast recording, it's almost identical. Except they have something called "Out There On The Road" (between "Two Men in My Life" and ""Little Lamb from Alabama"), and they don't list "The Procession" (near the end, between "How It Ends" and the "Be a Hero" reprise.) Slow Burn is a young company run by young talented people who did a terrific 'SIDE SHOW' a couple of years ago. For South Florida, their choices of musicals are refreshingly odd and daring, from 'CARRIE' to 'CHESS' to 'HIGH FIDELITY,' to the upcoming 'DOG FIGHT' and 'HEATHERS,' when most other companies down here stick to old reliables like 'HELLO, DOLLY!,' 'OKLAHOMA!,' 'WEST SIDE STORY,' 'THE KING & I,' etc.
