There is no denying the extreme talent of the A CHORUS LINE cast. Director Brad Blake, choreographer Diana Deaver, music director Mark Ceppetelli, and assistant director Steve Belli combine their talents to help bring out the best in this first-rate ensemble cast! The hard work and dedication of all people involved is evident, with the entire cast bringing their A game to this show! They all have excellent stage chemistry with each other, a strong stage presence, and clearly enjoy performing. The synchronicity in dancing is breathtaking, enhanced by the impact of real mirrors as the back stage wall, creating the illusion of twice the dancers being on stage.
On Saturday, April 25th, at 12:00 PM, I saw the newest Theatre for Young Audiences production at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT, THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. The Theatre for Young Audiences shows at Downtown Cabaret Theatre continue to entertain the entire family! This one breaks the fourth wall in numerous ways, even encouraging the youth to audition to dance in the aisle during one part of the show, which got numerous children up and dancing, many of which may become future performers. The story is written by Robert Peterpaul and directed by Ashley DePascale, putting two of the Downtown Cabaret Theatre’s greatest stage performers behind the scenes, as other stars, both new and returning get to shine on stage.

On Saturday, July 27th, I had the pleasure of seeing SPRING AWAKENING as put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. The stellar acting, singing, lighting, and choreography draws the audience right in. The talented vocalists and skilled musicians combine to create the melancholy and ominous feel behind the music written by Duncan Sheik, with book and lyrics by Steven Slater, setting the tone of the story in a way that captivates the audience and reveals the deep and dark feelings of the characters. The song, 'I Believe,' a full ensemble number at the end of the first act showcases particularly strong harmonies. Director Oliver Kochol, musical director Jill Brunelle, and choreographer Todd Santa Maria combine their skills to help bring out the best in this highly talented cast.
