Elf, the Musical

I've seen the movie "Elf" several times and have always enjoyed it.  Tonight I got to see the Civic Theater production of "Elf, the Musical."  It was a big production, great sets, 35 singers and actors (including some very funny elfs) and seven musicians.  The singing, dancing, skating, and acting was all very well done.  My only complaint, and it's just my opinion. is that all of the musical pieces were sung at the same intensity and volumn.  I like musicals with a variety of types of songs - some soft and slow, some loud and fast. "Oklahoma" comes to mind.  This evening's was a fun performance but no "Oklahoma." On the other hand, we all ended up believing in Santa by the end of the show, so it was a success,
