Definitely get out to Bowie this weekend to catch the final two performances of Deathtrap. The surprise scene and the guessing of who does what to whom when will make for a gratifying time.
They took the story, made it funnier, more entertaining, more creative, and completely more real and believable.
By today’s standard, this is reality show fare dressed up as art and nothing shocking or unbelievable is occurring at all. The ending is a let down, but that seems what was intended all along.
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then this reviewer saw a sweet and warmhearted production of a classic Broadway favorite with fine adult talent and beautiful children singing and dancing their hearts out.
Overall, impressive acting skills and innovative technical features such as sound and special effects amounted to a thrilling production.
West Springfield High School shows us that true happiness can not be found “over the rainbow” because there is truly no happier place than home!
The St. Mark’s Players cast does full justice to some of the best duet and ensemble music of the last few decades on Broadway, in a thoroughly satisfying production of Simon and Norman’s 1991 musical version of the classic children’s story, The Secret Garden.
The cast and crew of J.E.B. Stuart High School rose to the challenge of taking a demanding and difficult production and making it creative, unique, and magical.
Mount Vernon High School’s production was certainly enjoyable. With the exception of a few scenes, the actors held the audience’s full attention, and executed plot twists with ease.
The story-telling really came alive in this production, and Mary Zimmerman’s subtle political message was portrayed right up to the very end.
