I forgot to mention that the costumes were excellent.   Unfortunately, for me, bad costumes bug me, but I have only praise for the costumes in this show!   … I forgot to mention that the costumes were excellent.   Unfortunately, for me, bad costumes bug me, but I have only praise for the costumes in this show!
