Sister Act Theatre Review

Sister Act sets out to be just pure entertainment and achieves that goal admirably. Actor Casey Donovan presents the lead character Deloris Van Cartier as accessible and not overly complicated. This is mirrored in her vocal presentation as it is free from vocal gymnastics and overstatement. The criminal element of the story is presented in a slap-sack fashion and is very non-threatening.   //   Fans of the film should be warned however that this is the theatrical version and ...

Grease the Musical Theatre Review

The visual production is solid and emphasizes the participants' song and dance moves, which they duly deliver. The intro images quietly playing before things get underway really set the tone. Their low-res look is matched by a drive-in theatre from the fifties content, which is a perfect fit. And really, who doesn’t want to visit the snack bar?   //   The cast’s physical talents are on full display from the start, and the segments featuring the full cast are infect...
