Pretty Woman: The Musical Theatre Review

The redemption of this musical comes via the excellent singing voices of the cast and the staging and blocking of the large ensemble. The energy level was high, as was the physical prowess of the dancers. The sound was augmented by the impact of a live band located at a higher audience level than sequestered down in a pit.   //   The pedigree of the creative minds behind the production is also stellar, with two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell providing creative ...

The 39 Steps Theatre Review

Based oh so loosely on the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name, this production features just four cast members, who between them play a dizzying number of roles. Sometimes these characters are delivered in such quick succession you have to really hustle to keep up.   //   The cast features TV stars Lisa McCune (Blue Heelers) and Ian Stenlake (Stingers) and those masters of vocal and physical comedy The Umbilical Brothers - David Collins and Shane Dundas. ...

LASSÙ Cosmic Cabaret Theatre Review

The lights came down to show an illuminated set that mimicked a cowboy bar from the future. One that served delights that resided in the dark recesses of your mind. The displays of human strength showed true dedication to the craft and much time spent in the gym. It was all filtered through a bawdy mindset.   //   The pacing of the night was little lopsided with the most intense feats filling the first half while the energy drifted a bit in the second act. It was still a ...

Jesus Christ Superstar Theatre Review

If you felt the need you had to venture into the big city to actually see the play. You also had to sidestep the religious right out front with the placards of denouncement and verbal noise upon entrance, my how times have changed. Blasphemy and box office have long since become good bedfellows and the Christ complex can be seen on rock stages around the globe. The one thing that still plays is the feeling of it being a rite of passage.   //   The audience on the night ...
