Ebullient show spotlights an excellent ensemble

Headliners Peters and Salonga are melodious and radiant, coasting on their innate stage presence. Yet I found myself more magnetized by the ensemble that surrounds them, as if (re)discovering stars. Sticking in my memory is Beth Leavel’s heartbreaking “The Ladies Who Lunch” from the musical Company, in which she loads the lyric “clutching a copy of Life” with miles of ache. “Not a Day Goes By” from Merrily We Roll Along stars a delightful group of divas (Peters, Salonga, Joanna Riding, Bonnie Langford, Kat Jennings Grant, Leavel). Another golden highlight is Leavel and Gavin Lee’s fiery chemistry in Company’s “The Little Things You Do Together.” Stephen Mear’s choreography takes care of the comedic timing throughout.
