REVIEW:
"As a performance piece, Oh, Those Beautiful Weimar Girls, is equally spectacular, lavishly choreographed...with gorgeous bejeweled costumes Grounding all of this is an evocative musical score with original compositions by Jon Gilbert Leavitt (also referencing Metropolis and other period stylings).
