This music was composed to have that distinctly Italian quality one finds in the tremolo of a mandolin. You will hear the 2 Gents theme, Music for Crab the dog, Outlaw music, tender underscore, and the Graduation. A production which focused on the mistakes and trials of young love. A lovely little piece. Crab, the dog stole the show, as is tradition. Regrettably, what you will not hear is the song in which Thurio and Sebastian woo Olivia. It was cleverly staged and a delight to watch.
