I have seen this performance (originally on a VHS tape that features the entire show) many, many, many times. Joan Ryan's comic timing (her comic prowess) is unprecedented and unparalleled. I have never seen an actress to match her abilities. Coupled with Lindsay Ridgeway - and the entire company - it must have been a sight to see. I lived in Chicago at the time and I SHOULD HAVE FLOWN OUT TO SEE IT LIVE. I hate that I missed it. Even now.

I could totally see this show being revived on Broadway soon in the future. It's such an underrated show!
