Review: ALMOST HEAVEN at Castle Craig Players
by Sean Fallon - Mar 2, 2025
On Saturday, March 1st, I had the pleasure of seeing an extraordinary production of the musical ALMOST HEAVEN, featuring the music of John Denver, as performed by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. This is much more than a tribute concert. This is a theatrical presentation that includes some fascinating biographical information about John Denver’s life. The songs are sung by a highly talented six person cast featuring Kaite Corda, Mason Andrew, Timothy Barton, Bret Bisaillon, Em Kramm, and Sheri Sanders. Orchestrations and vocal arrangements are by Jeff Waxman. The original concept is by Harold Thau. Director Ian Galligan, assisted by Jennifer Del Sole, and music director Marc Sokolson help bring the audience a show that is entertaining for the entire family! As someone who has been a fan of John Denver’s music since I was a very young child, I thoroughly enjoyed this production!

Review: INTO THE WOODS at Castle Craig Players
by Sean Fallon - Jul 31, 2023
On Sunday, July 30th, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another first-rate production put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT, INTO THE WOODS! This is the first time I have ever seen this show performed live, and it has given me a whole new appreciation for this James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim masterpiece! The brilliant direction of Ian Galligan combines with the musical direction of Nick Ciasullo and choreography of Todd Santa Maria to bring out the best in this stellar cast, and in this musical itself! It is as if the musical was written to be performed by this cast!
