I kid you not. I was at Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ this evening and watched it. I will say : Not bad, and actually pretty good. The girl who played Laura had the character down, and the girl who played Nellie was yet another clone of Alison Arngrim--I think she grows them somewhere. As you might imagine, a great many characters were cut, like Mister Edwards, and Harriet Oleson, and in this instance, Pa Charles was a supporting but pivotal player in the story of how they moved to South Dakota--no Walnut Grove round these parts. Ma was a treat, played by Laura Past herself, one-time Batgirl VA Melissa Gilbert. Its still playing to 10/10, but I'm told ticket sales are brisk. The songs are fun, and the sequences evoke that dangerous but exciting life LIW tried to transmit in her books.
