**** Recommended **** I’ve never been a fan of the whole Sherlock Holmes thing, so I wasn’t all that excited about seeing “Sherlock’s Last Case”. I think I’ve always been a bit turned off by all that arrogant know-it-all behavior, so needless to say, a play called “Sherlock’s Last Case” wasn’t on my bucket list. Describe me as surprised, “Sherlock’s Last Case” is a quirky little mystery with a serious cliff hanger at intermission. Sherlock is just as arrogant as always, but Watson brings him back to earth – at least for a little while. 4 Spotlights
***RECOMMENDED*** As most of the local theatre companies are premiering new works or presenting highly anticipated productions within the past several weeks in order to kick off what has become a very busy beginning to the new season, one solid and beloved company is actually concluding their 15th season with a lovely and quite moving production of the musical "Big Fish." BoHo Theatre, which has seen three of it past four shows heavily nominated for multiple Jeff Awards, can expect to add to that string of nominations in 2020 with several more for this poignant tale about holding on to your dreams and never letting go of the wondrous and magical perspective that childhood can impart upon our lives. 3 and 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS
**** Highly Recommended **** The Joffrey Ballet’s absolutely magnificent “Jane Eyre” was an experience not to be missed! Words just don’t do it justice! After multiple readings of Charlotte Brontë’s novel, I’ve always come away with a sense of Jane’s aloneness – of the girl/woman facing an uncertain and usually hostile world alone. Jane is the original survivor in my book; selfishly, I think Cathy Marston’s vision is ‘my’ story! 4 BIG Spotlights
