The review can be found here:

The review itself (of the performers) is very good. There's also a nice bit about Bernadette's detractors, and how the reviewer feels they behaved a bit harshly -- and ridiculously -- when Bernadette got sick during the second week.

But don't shortchange yourself and skip the orchestrations review that follows; there are some fascinating comments there about the original score's design, what the revival's design has left in and taken out, and what certain measures of the score say about the material in general. If you're a budding theatre performer, this kind of thing is especially good to read, because understanding music and how it reads and works and why, is integral to interpreting it on-stage.

Regis: And look at all this hair. My God. That's a lot of hair. Look at this. How does hair get this way?
Bernadette: Um.. it sort of grew out of my head like this.
