Grow, a wholly original show about a pair of Amish sisters who get mixed up in the legalized pot industry and its mirror black market, is the good stuff.
When Skor learns of Ruth’s prowess with plants, he offers the sisters a place to stay – and entices them to work in his basement grow-op with a spiel about marijuana’s medicinal properties and a screed about family farms being crushed by corporate agriculture.
If the premise seems a stretch, it all makes sense within the internal logic of musical comedy.
What makes Grow work so delightfully are its surprises, like the unlikely relationship between Ruth and Skor that blossoms in a lovely first-act song called Grow and deepens in a second-act scorcher called The One I Choose.
Whatever it is, it’s not the song Troubles that currently establishes the location.
