The sets and lights were wonderful, the choreography engaging and enticing, but the costumes really took the center of the supporting disciplines. They were as filled with joy and the actions of the actors. The cast was amazing, and many new faces. I found myself thinking of a couple of the performers in particular that they were fearless. In particular Phillip Reid as Touchstone and Nigel Rowe as Andy. Their chemistry as supporting characters brought some of the funniest moments to life. But honestly, there wasn't a slacker in the entire ensemble. Another comedic bright spot was the well execute antics of Oscar Ceville as Orlando's Manservant. I've seen Caroline Dubberly in past productions and she is as fearless an actor as there is, but I have learned though this production that she has an equally enchanting voice. The powerhouse of the vocals was Jade Jones in the role of the Duke Senior. I also seen here in supporting roles, but never had the please of watching her shine in the spotlight before. There are four weddings in the finale and of course I cried, but tears of joy as the shear fun of the moment.
This is one that is so worth going to see--DMV folks, do it, you won't be sorry.
