**** Recommended **** Drury Lane’s campy new production, “Hazel, A Musical Maid in America”, is an entertaining breath of fresh air. It’s fast-paced, funny and exactly what it should be. By the way, just because a musical/play is based on something else doesn’t mean it will or won’t be worth your while. “Hazel”, based on a 1960’s TV show, which in turn was based on a cartoon character, is well worth the ticket price. “Hazel” made me laugh so it gets 4 Spotlights.
