Bravo, Cygnet Theatre! Their largest production to date easily ranks among their finest. The musical — book by Alfred Uhry, score by Jason Robert Brown — is based on the infamous trial and death of Leo Frank in 1913. He was a Yankee and a Jew. When a young woman was raped and murdered in Atlanta, he became a magnet for suspicions. In the midst of hysteria, Leo and his wife Lucille (Brandon Joel Maier and Sandy Campbell, both excellent) fall in love, maybe for the first time. Beautifully directed by Sean Murray, with smart, humorous choreography by David Brannen, and Billy Thompson's eight-piece orchestra, the production is almost a contradiction in terms: an ensemble show where everyone stands out.
