Nowhere near "Hamilton" this is a small-scale story. There is love -- of a boy and a girl -- but it is also about love of a people, a culture, a place. It's a gentle, quiet tale. You have a young man trying to make a decision, who is looking around his community for guidance. Song and dance ensues. It's all quite lovely and has a fresh feel, even though there is a faint reminiscence of "West Side Story". I enjoyed it. But, strangely enough, it wasn't memorable. It didn't "stick" with me. I wasn't humming the music after I heard it. It's very worth the two + hours, which fly by, just don't expect it to be a classic you return to over and over again.
