I registered just so I could review this musical. The music is wonderful and I love the storyline which I won't go into as I don't want to ruin the plot for anyone else.
However, the male lead's, Chad Kimball, southern accent is totally wrong and even offensive to anyone living in the South. Inflections were on the wrong words and the pronunciation was even worse. I understand he was playing a comic role but the accent was so wrong that it took away from the role.
I am still giving this an 8 because I liked the idea of the musical, the rest of the cast, and the storyline.
