Review: THE LITTLE MERMAID at Wilmington Drama League
by Rosanne DellAversano - Dec 18, 2025
Disney’s The Little Mermaid, loosely based on the fairytale of Hans Christian Andersen, tells the simple story of the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, and her longing to leave her ocean home and live in the world above with humans.
Review: MARY POPPINS - THE BROADWAY MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League
by Greer Firestone - Dec 20, 2024
Even with a sentimental attachment (more on that later), Aisle Say had not visited Wilmington Drama League for years.
I reviewed FREAKY FRIDAY, starring the luminous Becky Kotsifas and antenna then sprung from my ears. Next came KINKY BOOTS (starring Catherine Callahan, who is the titular star presently), then CARRIE and last week, MARY POPPINS.
BWW Review: JEKYLL & HYDE at Wilmington Drama League
by Rosanne DellAversano - Sep 11, 2019
Leslie Bricusse's book follows the basic outline of the often told tale. The good Dr. Henry Jekyll is a man with a mission - develop a serum that will separate mankind's innate dichotomy of good and evil to cure mental illness (mainly, his father). Dr. Jekyll's desire to test his formula is aggressively rebutted by the hospital (asylum) board of directors. What's a healer/chemist/visionary to do? Take the serum yourself, and see what happens. What happens in the musical version is more of a 'what did you expect' moment rather than a tension filled drama of good intentions gone horribly wrong.

BWW Review: FUN HOME at Wilmington Drama League - Welcome to the house on Maple Avenue
by Rosanne DellAversano - Sep 18, 2018
Let's start with a basic misconception - FUN HOME is not a comedy. The word 'fun' is an abbreviation for funeral. FUN HOME is the shortened, more enjoyable characterization of the Bechdel Funeral Home. Even though the young Bechdel children play inside caskets, and make-up silly commercials for the family business, not everything on Maple Avenue is fun. In fact, things can be downright sordid and unstable.
