I truly enjoyed Water for Elephants far more than I thought I would. I came to the theater fearing the puppetry of the elephant would over shadow the actors. While it was spectacular, it did not over shadow the actors and for that I am grateful. And in an effort of full disclosure, admittedly, I also really hate the circus. No need to judge, just offering a little vulnerability here. Still, in spite of that I enjoyed the performance a great deal.

Our narrator, the greek god Hermes, was portrayed by Moses Banks. She showcased her powerful vocals and brought some sass into the character of Hermes. Ray Baer portrayed the soft and sensitive side of Orpheus as he tried to save Eurydice from the underworld. Joy Ellis portrayed Eurydice with spunk, and her solos were beautiful, especially “Flowers.” Ash Aquayo played Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, as angsty and wild while Adam Coe played Hades as stoic and pragmatic. The sharp contrast in characters was symbolic of spring and winter.
