Review: Anything Goes

[themusecalliope]

Ok. I went to see the local high school production of "Anything Goes" tonight, and I had all kinds of fun.
The set was rock solid (way to go Mr. Deans!), which is important if you are dancing on it. (this is quite different from the sets we had at my high school, but anyway).
There were many great singers and dancers in this show. Real tap dancers! Jeremy (who played Billy) is all singing and all dancing. He has a great future ahead of him.
Jori's Reno also deserves applause. The only thing that I will give my thumbs down to, is the somewhat problematic sound system. I expect that there was interference.
frenia did a great job as the reporter, and the fella who played Moonface has quite a comic turn to him.
So, lets just say it was much better than one would expect when one thinks "High School Production". It's at least at community theater level.
There's another show tomorrow night. See it if you can.

Oh, and why is this review here rather that over at Themusereviews?
I admit it. I was too lazy to log out and then in again before I leave for dinner.
I will hang my head in shame later.

P.S. They did Heaven Hop. (not as Helen Kane, but still...I love that song. I blame Sophie.)

Too bad you never saw any of my high school productions, you would have been spoiled for anything after that. ;-)

Caught the final show to support Dad's work. There should be a subtitle to it " Every Cole Porter Song You Know", but in a good way (I spent half the evening trying to remember which Muppet had performed which song). Don't know if we saw the same Reno, this girl killed, knocked every song out of the park, and the girl playing Bonnie danced better than any Wood kid I can recall, as well as sing in a gangster moll accent. Perhaps choked up by the impending loss of their beloved conductor the Orchastra was not up to par, that is the only thing I will comment on negatively.
