Its well-constructed book is one of the best ever written, featuring a strong ensemble cast of vivid, memorable characters that span all age groups. The lilting Ravel-inspired score in three-quarter time accommodates both strong and less accomplished singers and contains a href="http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000048#"Sondheim/a?s popular song, the haunting ?Send in the Clowns.?
