Brittany O'Grady was perfect for this role. She's beautiful. She's vivacious. She's outstandingly smart. Bess King takes care of her own. They keep pushing her down and she never gives up. I loved the performance of her brother Louie (Kevin Valdez) who I think is autistic to the best of my understanding. He's such an indomitable flame of energy and nobody could rein in his unrivaled passion for theater. The music is also so wonderful and touching. It's simply the cherry on the top.
