On Feb 7th, 2008 I attended the "world premiere" performance of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. I loved it! The cast was extremely talented and diverse (I like it when ladies play male roles). I found the material to be engrossing, dark and sophisticated. It seemed to be hit or miss with the audience... I saw some people leaving during intermission, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I'll be recommending it to others.
Along with a handful of other Yelpers, I also attended the January 5th performance of The Pajama Game. Now, let me preface this by saying that I'm not a big fan of musicals, but I did have an ok time. The cast was a gifted group and bursting with energy! The set and costumes were colorful and creative and the 7-person orchestra was wonderful! The story itself is the only thing that didn't thrill me... as to be expected for a musical, the plot is just fluff.
Overall I give 5 stars to the skilled group of actors that make up the company. I can't wait to see more (I'll just steer clear of the musicals)!
