For only a second "live" performance, I'd say it was very well done. The actors for the most part seemed to embrace their roles.Written on Sep 16 2006

Description
California Shakespeare Theater closes its season with a melodious As You Like It. Artistic Director Jonathan Moscone collaborates with composer Gina Leishman, many of Cal Shakes’ Associate Artists, and a live gypsy band, to create an astonishing musical version of Shakespeare’s quintessential gender-bending romantic comedy. As You Like It, starring L. Peter Callendar, James Carpenter, Hector Correa, Julie Eccles, Rod Gnapp, Dan Hiatt, Domenique Lozano, Delia MacDougall, Max Gordon Moore, Andy Murray, Susannah Schulman, Stephen Barker Turner, and T. Edward Webster plays at the Bruns Amphitheater.
“This production was born out of my collaborations with composer Gina Leishman, whose passion for Shakespeare manifests in her unique ability to create music out of his language,” said Artistic Director Jonathan Moscone. “This is one of Shakespeare’s most eloquent romantic comedies, both dark and light, filled with sadness and exuberance; the genesis of this production was imagining places in the text in which scenes can become musicalized, even beyond the songs.”
The boundaries between reality and fantasy merge in As You Like It, Shakespeare’s vibrant romantic human comedy, directed by Cal Shakes Artistic Director Jonathan Moscone and featuring original music by Associate Artist Gina Leishman, whose collaboration on 2001’s Twelfth Night was declared “a triumph” by the San Francisco Chronicle.
