Each of the cast showcases, not only their versatile acting and vocal talent, but highlights their creatively choreographed movements throughout the entire theater. Whether Mooch was doing cartwheels on stage or Millie, Frank, and Ozzie were roaming throughout the aisles looking for Mooch and Earl, every entrance and performance platform were maximized.
