Katherine McManus delivered a stirring performance as Olive, the show’s unofficial female lead. Her endearing performance was evident during childish flirtation with William Barfée... McManus’ true talent lies in her incredible voice and acting ability. The silence in the audience was palpable during ‘The I Love You Song’.
