Me and Tim Russel, "Sparky", from Plaid Tidings, currently next door at the Off-Broadway Venue |
MY REVIEW: Ok, going in "cold", never having seen the film from 'yesteryear', I had no idea what to expect. This is a LONG production, it seems, but at the stroke of 10pm, It's OVER! But, even though I don't really do 'black and white' movies, since I AM all about a COLOR-FULL life as well as my wonder-filled one, I'll grit my teeth and go for it and actually see the original.
There were a lot of good, fun, smiling times, especially with Rendell DeBose as "Matthew" the gloriously-dressed Angel. Hellova voice, R, and I really do want a pair of those wings.. And the humor of Clarence ~ Jerry Sciarrio, the angel-in-training to get his wings is adorable. "Concentrate, Clarence!" how cute!
I've watched people be as frustrated at their life as was George Baily ~ Jordan Goodsell (and he sold the role really GOOD!)
Everyone in the extensive cast, (remember when I laboriously typed it all in free keyboard? yeah, lots of misspellings, so, apologies from the past mistakes. Now I scan it in and it's no longer on MY head for any errors!), was marvelous.. incredible dancing, singing, acting. Being able to see my other friends up there, Drew Stark, Sami Doherty, and the new friends I have yet to meet personally, what a THRILL!!!
The kids were marvelous. Sadly, the only little guy I've met frequently, along with his parents is little Nicholas Salerno, and I now see his sister, Megan Salerno, is right up there with him. Good job, parents for raising kids who pay back your love and talents! And they are off their electronics and getting out and using their minds and dancing abilities! good job ALL the parents and kids (everyone is listed below.)
All in all, I laughed, smiled and teared up, which is a great bunch of emotions for the production, for the season and for the delightful night. Thanks, all for your hard work, Paul Bernier for directing and Amy Marie McCleary for another view of the 'wonderful life' of ya'll's dedication to The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre. Your love for the venue, actors and endless productions show with EVERY performance. And we are so grateful to you for your gifts of delight and entertainment.
The Orchestra kicked major buns as well, good jobs, ya'll
And to all the chefs/kitchen help/servers/ bussers and those who bring us coffee, water, tea and are also as entertaining at our tables almost as much as the actors on stage..
Thank you ALL, for your service to us, who are most grateful.
This is what you bring to us.. The food!!
