City That Cried Wolf Reviews Are OUT!
So my theater companies show is a week into its run and the reviews are rolling in. These two are my favorite, but there are around 7 all over the Internet. But needless to say the New York Times loved us!!! I have been getting some great response to. Lets hope some of THOSE people come to see it. =P
The New York Times
had a rave review of the show:
"The genial production, written by Brooks Reeves and directed by Dan Barnes and Leta Tremblay, feels well workshopped and moves at a comfortable pace, inducing more than a few chuckles. The tireless Mr. Vandegrift, Mr. Bussler, Jyll Marie Mihlek and Rebecca Jones assume multiple roles and arrange the minimal sets, and much of the cast deftly renders a climactic tango at the Rhyme Town Ball, with striking choreography by Alberto Peart."

Loves us too, with a couple of critiques I honestly think have some merit:
"The plot revolves around slick deadpan private detective Jack B Nimble (Adam La Faci)—who lost his true love Jill in a horrible accident. Jack is hired by Humpty Dumpty (played by versatile actor Loren Vandegrift, who shines also as the cooey, Capote-esque Frog and various other roles here) to find out if his wife Bo Peep is cheating on him. This leads to a series of events, and encounters with many characters (all actors except La Faci play multiple roles) who try to help—or hinder—our man from solving the case. It also leads to a sizzling romance with classic femme fatale Bo Peep (Chloe Demrovsky), who we know is trouble the moment we see her.The dialogue here is just so good, as it combines the genres flawlessly: In describing Humpty Dumpty after his death: "He was a big egg with a thin shell." Or, when Goldilocks is seated at the bar trying out new drinks: "This one is too strong, this one, too weak. And this one is just right." Then the response from the bartender: "For a six year old, she can really pack ‘em down." It’s a real payoff for the audience as well, in that it does point out how nursery rhymes really are a great unifier."
I’ll keep everyone updated, but the show is going great and the sales are still going strong. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t come, because there are seats available, especially weekdays and Sunday nights!
