From AudioFile
A winter storm has waylaid a busload of passengers at a small café somewhere in the middle of Kansas. Everybody is waiting for morning--but what this 1955 Broadway hit is really about is three women who are waiting for their lives to begin. Without a doubt, Lynnie Raybuck, Megan Anderson, and Rachel Miner are up to the vocal challenges of depicting the humor, hope, and world-weariness of the café owner, the small-time showgirl, and the waitress who wants to take off for the big city. Spot-on sound effects and engaging guitar tunes round out this snapshot of a mid-twentieth-century America in transition. Once again, L.A. Theatre Works excels in bringing a stage classic to audio.
