    This extravaganza is a feast for the eyes. The sets and costumes alone are worth the price of a ticket, but the talent is amazing. These performers can do it all...and all at the same time! The dance numbers had real choreography, not just the pseudo-dance so often seen on stage. Everyone in the small cast was strong, and kudos to both little boys, Gabriel Hoffman and Julian Hornik, who play the Dreamers (I saw both casts). It's so nice to see local theater supporting local professionals. This includes the musicians and technical staff who all did a marvelous job. This is a wonderful "feel good" holiday show for school age children to adults. AMT deserves a pat on their collective backs for bringing us this fresh new work. Congratulations to Dreamland's creators, Tim Bair, Troy Rintala, and Delores Duran-Cefalu. I'm proud to live in an area that produces this kind of artistic talent. Collapse
