On Thursday, June 27, I had the pleasure of seeing another Fairfield Center Stage masterpiece, BARNUM in a spectacular manner that I have never seen it before, outdoors, outside the Fairfield Museum and History Center. The performers are so talented that the show comes across as a brilliant combination between a theatrical stage production and a circus. This is consistent with Fairfield Center Stage's innovative ventures of bringing special uniqueness to each show, in this case, presenting the dramatized life of P.T. Barnum (with much poetic license) in a way that makes the audience feel as if they are at 'the greatest show on Earth.'

On Saturday, June 22, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenal performance of CRAZY FOR YOU, the musical, at the Sharon Playhouse in Sharon, CT. With book by Ken Ludwig, music by George Gershwin, and lyrics by Ira Gershwin this musical romantic comedy kept the audience entertained from start to finish1 With amazing acting, singing, dancing, musicianship, and a detailed mobile set, who could ask for anything more?

On Friday, June 7, I had the pleasure of seeing ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST at the Ridgefield Theater Barn in Ridgefield, CT.  This brilliantly written and phenomenally performed dark drama is based on the novel by Ken Kesey and adapted for the stage by Dale Wasserman.  Director Kevin Sosbe brings the best out in this strong cast of actors and actresses whose talents blend together well, creating a show that excels in generating intense feeling and emotion from the captivated audience. 

With an excellent cast, THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is highly entertaining, at ACT of Connecticut, in Ridgefield, CT. This show has the audience laughing throughout, while finding ways to inject strong messages of truth among the musical comedy. If you want to spell a wonderful time, come see the show!

I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE is an excellent show that takes a comedic look at male/female dynamics among singles and among married people. The stellar cast of Jon Escobar, Nick D'Angelo, Kristin Iovene, and Cristin Marshall all play multiple roles, all in which all four of them excel. I highly recommend this show for single and married adults. The Connecticut Cabaret Theatre in BErlin, CT has yet again presented a first-rate show.

LEND ME A TENOR is brilliantly performed by The Castle Craig Players! I highly recommend this comedy that features a very talented cast!

I believe that I can say with confidence that Fairfield Center Stage puts THE SECRET GARDEN on in such a manner that Broadway would never be able to compete with!  This show is a brilliant continuation of Fairfield Center Stage's consistent remarkable ability to bring familiar things to an audience in the best way we have ever seen!  Fairfield Center Stage goes that extra mile to bring fantasy production undertakings to reality that they successfully pull off.  On Friday, May 10, I had the pleasure of seeing the opening night performance at the Pequot Library in Fairfield, CT. 

On Sunday, April 28, I had the pleasure of seeing THE WAFFLE HOUSE FIVE as put on by Pantochino Productions at the MAC in Milford, CT.  This musical comedy features book and lyrics by Director Bert Bernardi with music by Justin Riggs. This tells the story of Waffle House workers who agree to split the winnings if any of them win the lottery, and how that plays out, if one of them really does win.

On Saturday, April 27, I had the pleasure of seeing SNOW WHITE at the Downtown Cabaret Children's Theatre in Bridgeport, CT.  This is an excellent season finale to what has been another wonderful season at the Downtown Cabaret Children's Theatre.  Under the direction of Frank Root and choreography of Cassie Carroll, the stellar cast has once again brought life to Phill Hill's brilliant writing that keeps the children enthralled while simultaneously providing entertainment for the adults. 

On Friday, April 5, I had the pleasure of seeing a phenomenally performed comedy about comedy!  As expected, the Connecticut Cabaret Theatre in Berlin, CT has delivered another high quality show, THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF COMEDY (ABRIDGED) by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor.  Not only is it highly entertaining to watch, but I feel my takeaway from it has helped make me a better person, which to me is the ultimate sign of success for any show!

Downtown Cabaret Theatre gets an amazing cast for the comedic musical SISTER ACT and provides a performance that truly brings this musical to its maximum.

These original comedies, so masterfully delivered, keep the audience laughing all throughout, and continue to reveal the power of local theater, local acting, and local playwrighting which every year at the Ridgefield Theater Barn proves itself to be far superior than much of what is highly acclaimed on Broadway.

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG is one of the greatest Downtown Cabaret Children's Theatre shows I have ever seen! The acting is spectacular! I highly recommend this show to all audiences!

Fairfield Center Stage yet again presents a high quality production with the musical DREAMGIRLS. An excellent cast entertains the entire audience. The run ends on March 9, so get your tickets quickly!

For those who like cleverly written comedic spoofs of familiar plays, and constant humor done well, I highly recommend THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE ABRIDGED as performed by the Castle Craig Players in Meriden, CT. This three person show kept the audience laughing from start to finish.

WORKING is an amazing musical, brilliantly performed by a talented cast, at the consistently first-rate ACT of CT, under the direction of the creative Daniel C. Levine.

The Connecticut Cabaret Theatre has yet again performed a first-rate show, with THE BIKINIS, a jukebox musical featuring an incredibly talented cast of four actresses.

The classic Queen album 'A Night At The Opera' is performed live in sequence, in its entirety, by Fairfield Center Stage. This has been a truly amazing performance, showing an incredibly high level of talent.

The Downtown Cabaret Theatre starts off 2019 with 1984, setting the bar high for the year with an absolutely phenomenal production of a staged version of the classic George Orwell novel.

RUMPELSTILTSKIN at the Downtown Cabaret Children's Theatre brings entertainment for the entire family, continuing the tradition of comedic musical stage adaptations of classic children's stories!
