Overseeing the proceedings is Jodi Eichelberger as a dashing emcee with a velvet voice. When he's at the microphone, he commands the audience's attention with charisma and strong singing. Also striking is a cameo performance by Sam A. Mowry, who does a dead-on impression of radio showman Orson Welles.
Other aspects of the show might have benefited from more rehearsal. Several singers experienced intonation problems. The radio sound effects were over-amplified, often overwhelming dialogue. And the show's pacing needs tightening to make it feel like a legitimate radio broadcast, when there's never a second of dead air time – there were noticeable gaps between when singers were introduced and songs began, for instance.
