The snapshots, originally photos clutched in their hands, become large projections on the paneled walls before actually springing to life in the form of two incarnations of their earlier selves: Susie and Danny (Megan Long and Nick Cosgrove) and Susan and Daniel (Jess Godwin and Tony Clarno). Sue plans to leave Dan, and is just about to tell him so when they begin to examine the photos and reminisce about their early years together (Act I) before honing in on an examination the ways they have drifted apart (Act II). The plot of this Chicago première of Snapshots is easy to sum up: Sue and Dan (Susan McMonagle and Gene Weygandt), middle-aged empty nesters, find a hoard of old pictures in their attic. Take a direct, simple story, unfold it with exquisite care, and the result is a gem of a play opening Northlight’s 37th season. The voices were outstanding and the story was told flawlessly. “One of the best musicals that I have seen in quite a while. WE LEFT THE THEARE HOLDING HANDS AND IN TEARS.
