best song — and
the
best-sung one.
The touching relationship of Lili with Henry, a walrus, and Carrot Top, a boy — both manipulated
and amusingly voiced by Wilhelm — mark the last sunny burst of her childhood and the dawning of her
maturation.
And the fox Renardo and his jealous partner, Marguerite — nimbly voiced by Floyd — mimic the
romantic-comedy sparks between the jealous Rosalie (Emma Brock) and roving Marco the Magnificent
(Hayden Clifton).
With the help of director John Stefano and musical director Lori Kay Harvey as well as the
bouncy choreography of Sue Sauer, the lighting of Dana White, the costumes and scenery of Berlyn
Drabik, and a capable pit orchestra, the performers transform a relatively bare stage into a show
of love and magic.
Stein, who has edited books that won the National Book Award, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Awards, has worked at FSG since 1998.
