I saw the dress rehearsal and it's great! Ellen Greene is a natural as Miss Adelaide, Brian Stokes Mitchell so suave as Sky Masterson, Scott Bakula so unfettered as Nathan Detroit - and Jessica Biel - what a find! - perfect casting as Sarah. 3 performances only through Sunday, August 2 at 7:30

(Top Photos: Craig T. Mathew - Ken Page, so memorable as Nicely Nicely leading "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat";
Jessica Biel as Sarah Brown and Ellen Greene as Miss Adelaide decide to "Marry the Man Today")
