Amazon.com Editoral Review: A major musical by The Lincoln Center based on the best-selling novel by Sherley Anne Williams. This is the first complete recording (containing the entire work) of a New York mainstream production. Wonderful music and lyrics by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens. Great cast includes Rachel York, LaChanz, Norm Lewis, Michael Hayden and more.
