Saguaro Blvd., Fountain Hills) and its Youth Theater presents the opening production of their 2010-2011 Season, 45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY, from Friday, August 27th to Sunday, September 12th. Times are Fridays and Saturdays at 7PM and Sunday at 2PM. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under.
FHCT Youth Theater is proud to announce the opening production of their 2010-2011 Season, '45 Minutes From Broadway.' '45 Minutes from Broadway,' as adapted by June Walker Rogers, features the irresistible excitement of George M. Cohan's music. 'Let's do a musical!' is the cry from the members of the school's drama club. The problem is which one? This dilemma is solved by the appearance of an old theatrical trunk filled with the memorabilia of early show-business days. These include some George M. Cohan props, his derby straw hat and cane and a script of 45 Minutes from Broadway. Miss Templeton, the teacher, and Jason, the student director, guide the cast through the auditions, casting and presentation of the old Cohan musical. This is an example of a show within a show, complete with such rousing George M. Cohan numbers as 'I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy,' 'Give My Regards to Broadway,' and 'You're a Grand Old Flag.'

The latest to produce a full production of the rock opera THE WHO'S TOMMY is The Chance Theater in Anaheim Hills, the little store-front black box theater that, over the years, have managed to do quite a lot with its small space. In this fast-paced, tightly-directed new revival, THE WHO'S TOMMY-with sold out performances extended through August 15-hits with the ferocity of a full-on rock concert and features a confident, spirited cast. And, in somewhat of a nice surprise, the show utilizes newer technology unseen (or unaffordable) in many smaller theaters.

Although both Russell and Hicks are clearly at the top of their game with their exquisite performances, - honed from years of experience in the theatre and underscored by their shared joie de vivre and their obvious understanding of the text - the rest of the ensemble are an uneven lot of veterans and neophytes and those in between. While there are moments of bliss to be found in the production, glimmers of the promise that is surely to be found, there remains a lack of passion and what results is a didactic presentation that fails to inspire.
