Due to the advent of my 40th birthday, I regret I will not be able to see (or review) Norwich High School’s musical “My Fair Lady” this year. By the time Mark Sands’ annual production rolls around that first week in April, I’ll be beginning my mid-life crisis in earnest in sunny Las Vegas.

It’s something I’ve looked forward to doing every year, so, other than rearrange my trip or alter my birth certificate, what could I do to satisfy my yen for musical theater, high school style? How about a trip up north to Sherburne-Earlville, I decided, to see Paul Zona and company’s rendition of “She Loves Me?” I did just so last night, and I’m happy to say the S-E crew makes a worthy and entertaining substitute.
