Members Who Went Said:
What a fantastic show all around. The set was great, the talent was top notch. This could easily been staged in the Loop. The choreography was fun and Angel Abcede was electrifying in that jazzy dance production. Lots of fun.
Kim I absolutely loved the show. The acting and the content were perfectly outrageous. I especially enjoyed the performances of Sally and the narrator. Individual cast member facial expressions were fantastic and hilarious. The energy was contagious. The orchestra did a fine job. Even the scenery was terrific. I will see the show again if it comes around, only I hope the next group of performers will be able to live up to my expectations after this delightful production.
Mike Kolbuk Living in the Suburban Cultural Desert Professional cast, interesting set, and a tongue-in-cheek musical made for a wonderful evening. |
