We saw "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" shortly after Gail Lennon and Blake Walker joined the cast. We enjoyed the show so much that we went back last night to see it again. Although the audience was not large, everyone seemed to be enjoying the show as much as we did.

The cast is very talented and the new cast members are both outstanding. We have been fans of Gail Lennon for a long time and enjoy anything she does.

We enjoy many Branson variety shows. This show provides a nice change because it is actually a musical comedy. We would like to see more shows of this type in town.

We certainly would recommend the show to others, particularly anyone who likes Neil Sadaka's music.
