What did our critic think of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN at Bellevue Little Theatre?

Nebraska Wesleyan University Theatre has a history of mounting an impressive variety of plays and musicals. Currently, Lauren Gunderson’s revolutionary play about four women during the 1793 Reign of Terror in Paris, is a compelling production running in the Enid Miller Lab Theatre. Some would call this a comedy. Some would see it as a drama. I see it as a piece that transcends definition and looks at revolution through female eyes.

Oh, what a night! I just spent 2 1/2 hours of pure delight listening to four phenomenal vocalists in Omaha Community Theatre’s current production of JERSEY BOYS. It will be difficult to pinpoint what I liked best (everything) and easy to point out what didn’t work (absolutely nothing.) OCP has a blockbuster on its hands.
