All six women turned in stellar performances and functioned flawlessly as an ensemble in the brief dance/movement segments, but I was particularly captivated by Rubin, Padovano, and Griffee. Moschitto and her cast have done a masterful job with the myriad of accents (and languages) in which these characters speak, and I was fascinated at how, as these women became more fluent in English, their “foreign” accents came closer and closer to the distinctive dialects and accents of New York City and its environs.
The actors have rendered remarkably truthful and sympathetic characters who may be archetypes of the period but who never approach caricature. All six women must be named for their superlative work: Jean Gotto, Jennifer Griffee, Jennifer Moses, Shayna Padovano, Katy Rubin, and Sonja Sweeney. This is ensemble work at its finest.
