I know what you're thinking. Come on. Dead easy. "What's an OR,?"

When Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice came together to write Evita, they probably didn't realize how big a splash they would be making the realm of musical theater; with its dynamic and rather challenging score, its continuous demand for the sung word (trademark of many Lloyd Webber pieces) and a plot with little to be played with in keeping with its historical basis, Evita is quite the undertaking for any theater group that chooses to accept the challenge of presenting this on stage. In this sense, it also has the great potential of surprising an audience with how beautiful it is when done in a certain way, and this element is what Cape Rep Theatre has managed to make possible and thus present to a Cape Cod audience with its current production of the Webber/Rice musical. "A New Argentina" has indeed risen with this stellar production of Evita, already boasting many sold-out performances with people flocking to bear witness to the story Argentinian First Lady Eva Peron and her epic rise to power.

Cape Rep Theatre's 30th Anniversary Season continues with the sold-out smash hit Evita. Cape Rep newcomer, Rachel O'Malley in the title role 'is mesmerizing' joined by Zal Owen as Che and A. Bryan Humphrey as Peron.  The cast includes Cape Rep company members Chelsey Jo Ristaino as the Mistress and Anthony Teixeira as Migaldi, while Lindsey Erin Agnes, Garrett Almeida, Marie Becklo, Tom Leidenfrost, Ari Lew, Hannah Matusow, Eleanor Tynan, Jonathan Tomaselli, Catie Clark, Nell Daisy Hamilton, and Abigail Ajson round out 'a vibrant ensemble cast result in a production that is simply sensational.'

'Jumping gingerbreads!' proclaims Prince of Sunshine Copernicus (Christopher Maikish) to just about anything that proves a consternation. You see Copernicus is not an ordinary Prince, and The Next Fairy Tale is not your ordinary musical. They abound in the world of fantasy. It's about a Prince in love with...a Prince, and the Mistress of Fairy Godmothers is not in the least pleased to accept and publish this newest fairy tale in a long line of traditional fairy tales for children of the next century. What happens to Minerva, her inept charge Hazel and to Copernicus and his love interest Helio is at the core of this world premiere by Brian Pugach at the Celebration Theatre through April 24. For the most part, it succeeds with a marvelous cast, fabulous direction by artistic director Michael A. Shepperd and spot-on production values. One thing that's needed is more humor. As is, it's witty and entertaining, but not nearly as funny as it could or needs to be.
