BWW Review: Theatre Raleigh's ONCE is Simply Grand
From the outset, it is clear, that Theatre Raleigh's production of ONCE is not going to be a typical theatrical experience, but a completely immersive one.
Based on the 2007 movie of the same name, ONCE is a story about a Guy and a Girl who come together through their love of music.
From the get-go, a band of players greets the audience with music and merriment, transporting the occupants of The Kennedy Theatre from Downtown Raleigh to smack dab in the middle of Dublin's North Strand.
And that talented band of players it turns out makes up the brilliant ensemble cast, led by Jack Boice, Megan Ort, and Tracy Thomas. They sing, dance, act, and play multiple instruments, as do the two leads, played by David Toole and Morgan Parpan.
BWW Review: Intense and Fiery Performance Makes Theatre Raleigh's MASTER CLASS Riveting

McLane is masterful as the temperamental Callas, moving across the stage like a woman possessed, regaling the audience with stories, never 'missing an opportunity to theatricalize,' criticize, and dramatize.

BWW Reviews: Gulfshore Playhouse Marries Hit with I AM MY OWN WIFE
There's not really any way around this. Pulitzer Prize-winning play 'I Am My Own Wife' features one man in a dress performing 37 different roles. If you don't like that sort of thing, leave. Of course, that would be a grave mistake, because Kraig Swartz will change your life.
