Scott Rawson — Theater Critic

The show of course was circus based and the audience ate it up. Especially the aerialist and acrobats. These are true circus acts, and I could not take my eyes off of them. Yves Artieres had, arguably, the most moving scene in the show, as a horse. Yes you read that right, the scene was so moving, my parter was brought to tears. Gabriela Diaz was simply mesmerizing in her movements and lightness. Truly amazing performances.

Mostly the magic, however comes from the uber talented cast. We begin with the innocently beautiful vocals of Kyra Belle Johnson, portraying Belle. Watching her transform from a naive small town girl to an empowered woman standing up for herself and those she cares about was a joy.

Go see this show, it’s entertaining and well done as the joyful audience proved standing for minutes applauding the cast, thankful for an amazing night of entertainment.

The show was fantastically entertaining. I and the people around me left the theater singing, humming, and dancing. But we also left with a much deeper understanding of Neil Diamond’s songs and lyrics and a greater appreciation for the man behind the American idol, and of our shared humanity.
