Suite Surrender was a hilarious show, with a lot of believability to the normally unbelievable situations that occur in a farce. Come to 1st Stage to be absolutely entertained and amused.
An enjoyable evening under the stars (well, more like a ceiling, but no walls) was had by a trip to Wolf Trap to see the Atlanta Theater of the Stars touring production of The King & I.
Altogether, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the pinnacle of local theatre: professional at its core with its heart in the neighborhood. C’est fantastique!
Overall a lively performance, with moments of humor and romance as Elle learns how she can fit in with the group, just by being herself.
McLean Community Players’ Legally Blonde: The Musical is a cheeky load of fun.
There’s comedy. There’s tragedy. There’s romance. There’s even a piquant mix of poetry, politics, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. All in about an hour and a half.
Traveling Spotlight Productions’ presentation of Miss Saigon offers neither transcendent performances nor spectacular staging.
The Fairy Tale Courtroom was engaging and fun, aimed at elementary-school aged children.
Elden Street’s Flowers For Algernon was a wonderfully powerful production. Make plans to see this show!
In a well-intended and generally well-executed, but ultimately futile, bit of theater archeology, 1st Stage dusts off the 1965 Kander-Ebb musical, Flora the Red Menace.
