The Spotlight Theatre brings Zanna, Don't! to Theatre Theater in Los Angeles. This hip musical fairy tale tells the story of Zanna, a modern matchmaking teen who turns relationships upside-down and changes the world. In this alternate version of America, homosexuality is the norm rather than the exception. Boys fall madly in love with dreamy boys; girls excitedly plan dates with other girls. Scandal erupts, however, when young Steve and Kate find themselves attracted to one another, and it's up to Zanna, the local love fairy, to come up with the right spell to make the world safe for the two lovers. But Zanna's spell has a bigger-than-anticipated impact. Is this really what he wanted? With a little magic and a fresh pop score, Zanna, Don't! celebrates finding love in a world of diversity and acceptance. This off-Broadway hit won several Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle nominations and awards and was voted Favorite Off-Broadway Musical in the Broadway.com Audience Awards. Zanna, Don't! also won the Media Award for Outstanding New York Theatre Production from GLAAD (Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) for its "fair, accurate and inclusive representations" of the gay community and issues that effect their lives.

Not a great production, mostly due to lack of direction and some serious miscasting. The performance of the title character (yes, you read that right) was just awful, and sunk the show like an anchor. Every time he appeared, I thought in my mind, "ZANNA DON'T come back on stage. Every time he sang, I thought, "ZANNA DON'T, please DON'T!" To the theatre staff: how is it that Zanna was one of only 2 actors with a microphone, yet his faint whispers could not be heard? All that being said, the kids who played the other characters worked very hard and enjoyed themselves. Kudos to them. Tank, I loved that you could make a joke about yourself, but seriously, eat a cookie. You sounded great in the final number!Written on Feb 28 2012

I have loved this story since I first saw it at the Hyperion-Lyric theater about 5 yrs ago. However, as stated by others, this production felt more like a high-school/community college theater group. I think all of the actors needed microphones, but only some had them & the soundtrack drowned them out. Hey Zanna--keep on projecting like you did in your last solo song--that was GREAT! I think this show can be much better--I appreciated the enthusiasm of the ensemble throughout the show.Written on Feb 28 2012

Did I enjoy this show? I Zanna-DIDN'T. It was amatuer night in Dixie. The show is a transfer from a theater in Bakersfield but in the big city it just seems like a bad high school production. The show itself has promise but with bad direction, terrible staging and awful choreography this version does not live up to the possibilities. It was easy to see that SOME of the performers could have been very good but they didn't stand a chance in this production.Written on Feb 20 2012

I really liked the version of Zanna Don't produced in L.A. about 4 years ago. This latest production was poorly directed and some of the acting was amateurish. Most of the very small audience left during intermission.Written on Jan 30 2012
