Mikron Theatre Will Premiere New Play About the Radical MP Jennie Lee

BWW Review: Talented Cast Sails into SOUTH PACIFIC at Jewel Box Theatre
Rodgers and Hammerstein shows are known for being of a certain type. They are rarely what might be called small or minimalist and it would be tricky for any theater to do minimalist versions of most of them. These are shows that often have the word “big” attached to them and for a smaller sized theater with somewhat limited resources to attempt one of these big shows is an ambitious effort. Jewel Box Theatre is currently trying to do just that with a fully staged production of one of these shows, South Pacific, and the attempt ends up with highly mixed results.
