On Saturday, March 1st, I had the pleasure of seeing an extraordinary production of the musical ALMOST HEAVEN, featuring the music of John Denver, as performed by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. This is much more than a tribute concert. This is a theatrical presentation that includes some fascinating biographical information about John Denver’s life. The songs are sung by a highly talented six person cast featuring Kaite Corda, Mason Andrew, Timothy Barton, Bret Bisaillon, Em Kramm, and Sheri Sanders. Orchestrations and vocal arrangements are by Jeff Waxman. The original concept is by Harold Thau. Director Ian Galligan, assisted by Jennifer Del Sole, and music director Marc Sokolson help bring the audience a show that is entertaining for the entire family! As someone who has been a fan of John Denver’s music since I was a very young child, I thoroughly enjoyed this production!
