Sketch comedy masquerades as musical
by Joel Fishbane

Different realities play themselves out in It’s Always You, a show that is being mistakenly advertised as a musical. Yes, there are songs but they are slight and do little to advance story or theme; unfortunately, much of the text has the same problem. It’s Always You is sketch comedy masquerading as a complete play and the results are decidedly mixed.
The idea is simple enough: once upon a time, Elaine (Sheila McCarthy), Bill (Dan Redican) and Ted (Shawn Thompson) were all friends. Then something sent them spiralling in different directions. What if we could see the result of these diverging roads?
