    Improvised Musical

“Hoffman’s voice rivaled even that of Bernadette Peters, well known for her iconic portrayal of Dot in the original 1983 production. Hoffman is an impressive, versatile actress, who effortlessly made the transition from the jocular, vigorous Dot, to a geriatric Marie, the daughter of Dot, who reflects on George Seurat, her purported father, nearly a century after his death.”
