Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom in the studio today with her review of the lively Scottish musical "Ceilidh" (pronounced KAY-lee).

A cèilidh is a traditional Scottish and Irish social gathering featuring Gaelic folk music, dancing, and storytelling.

At its heart, "Ceilidh" is a musical about family, legacy, the enduring power of stories and celebration, sung and danced here with a 15-member principal cast.
