Just saw Steel Magnolias there tonite. What a fantastic performance/evening out. Not my first time here and always well worth the drive from Tempe. This play was perfectly cast, directed and set designed. It relies exclusively on the dialogue and ensemble cast and I was left thinking that every one of the actresses was as good as those stellar actresses in the film and some surpassed those performances. The gal playing Shelby was better in this role than Julia Roberts was in the film in my opinion. They were all just perfect.
I love how the Chef creates a menu that is designed around the theme of the show--the red velvet roulade cake was amazing and fun as it was an element of the story.
So glad I went out to AZ Broadway Theatre this evening--it was truly a special evening and I will be thinking about that play for a long time.
