Legit Reviews: On arrival at the John Houseman Theater for "Lone Star Love," a musical adaptation of "The Merry Wives of Windsor" set in 19th century Texas, a bunch of amiable folk in period garb offer pre-show banter, as well as chili and cornbread, before the festivities proper get under way. From the get-go, this is a show that wants to be liked, with plenty of talent at its disposal to generate that feeling. There’s a fine, spirited cast, polished direction, good music and even some tasty morsels of grub: By all means, try the chili. But all the skill and Southern hospitality can’t correct the show’s fundamental misconception: The tone of story and song never fuse but work in counterpoint.
