Reviews by Carol Moore

**** Highly Recommended **** Summer means musicals!  So this summer, get yourself to the Studebaker Theatre (worth a look all on its own!) and see "Personality: The Lloyd Price Musical".  This jukebox musical will have you dancing in your seat – in the first five minutes!  I didn’t remember Lloyd Price, but I sure do remember his songs!  Great voices, great songs, great dancing.  What’s not to love?  4 Big Spotlights

**** Recommended **** The Music Theater Works production of "Pippin", directed by Kyle A. Dougan, is a bright, colorful, fantastical extravaganza.  The set reminded me of the comedy wall in 60’s TV hit, Rowan & Martin’s "Laugh In", with several monitors scattered among multiple nooks and crannies.  The talented cast was in constant motion with sexy and suggestive Fosse-esque choreography (totally appropriate since Fosse choreographed the original production).  4 Spotlights 

**** Highly Recommended **** The opening production in the Dunes Arts Summer Theatre season is "Boeing Boeing", a delightfully snarky comedy set in the swinging sixties.  The talented cast got the audience laughing early on and kept them laughing right to the end.  Even though I’ve seen "Boeing Boeing" more than a few times, this production had me laughing, too.  4 Spotlights. 

**** Recommended **** TimeLine Theatre is well known for selecting thoughtful, intelligent and well-researched plays about real people, real history.  "What the Constitution Means to Me" is an excellent fit.  This play really is about the Constitution, at least playwright Heidi Schreck’s interpretation of that document which is an important part of our American system.  I doubt if many people have actually read it, she did.  Beth Lacke, who plays Schreck, has a warm and humorous touch.  I learned a few things – you will too.  3 ½ Spotlights
