To dream the impossible dream. Do you have a Dulcinea? Why do I cry all the way through this?
When the overture starts I am extremely concerned Lori Shepardon in the reeds is very weak or is it just the sound mixer? Then Don Quixote (Jeff Church) comes out and starts singing. What an incredible voice but with all the great songs will the rest of the cast measure up? Excuse me; Sancho (Dustyn Moir) is even better. Well that is all we could expect until Cherisse Martinelli (Aldonza/Dulcinea) belts out Its All The Same. In fact all the cast has very strong voices.
You won’t find a better production of Man of La Mancha than this.
And now a rant – The management of this theater group is the biggest bunch of nincompoops that you will ever have to deal with. I bought season tickets back in the first part of June. They never acknowledged or sent me any type of receipt. So I called and they never responded. I just showed up and was comped in. Now I am worried about the next performance “Rocky Horror” because evidently they do not have a Sunday matinee. I guess I will just wait and see if they actually do anything. The other thing is the theater is half empty. They do not do any advertising. Do you know the slogan: Early to bed; early to rise; and advertise, advertise, advertise? I really should volunteer to solve their problems but I don’t want to give up that much time and I suspect that the theater manager would be a ninny boss.
