    The Turn of the Screw

    San Jose Stage Company

    October 8-November 2, 2008

    Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): 4 out of 5 stars rating Add Review/Comment

    In this chilling adaptation of Henry James spellbinding Victorian ghost story, the horror comes both from things that go bump in the night to make their presence known and from things kept quiet so that secrets stay buried. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children and uncovers some frightening truths about her predecessor in a gothic "tour de force" journey into the unknown.

        The jokes could be seen a mile away and though the audience I was with really loved it, I wasn't totally impressed with the piece as a whole. The props were fun, and some of the voices were really amazing, but the gags wore thin an though the cast was working hard, part of me felt it was just a bit over staged. There was certainly an audience for this light and silly piece present in the theatre, but for me, the pacing was a bit off, and I wasn't totally sure the actors wanted to be there the whole time. Maybe they were just doing it for the insurance? Collapse

        Pleasantly surprised at this show. the 5 young men are very talented. The San Jose Stage Theater is small and intimate. I thought that the four piece band would not be adequate but they were and they interact a little bit with the actors which was different and refreshing. I guess the two things I can say is: 1) one scene made me laugh so hard I had to dab at my eyes and that has never happened before and; 2) I went and bought the sound track CD the next day. The one that caught my eye in all the reviews and advertisements was "God called me on my cell phone." But there are other outstanding songs.. songs that you could actually sing to. Perfect entertainment especially for the price. Went on Sunday. Got discounted tickets and parking on the streets of San Jose is easy and free (on Sundays). What more could you ask for? Collapse

        Outstanding Story, Singing, Dancing and Very funny!!! Only one warning: Females-If you sit in the first row you could find yourself on center stage and part of the show.

        Hysterical. I had a smile on my face the whole time. My 15 year old daughter loved it. Great harmonies.

        Whatever walk of life you come from you will be able to relate to at least part of this show. It's mix of Forever Plaid and The Village People with a dash of Late Night Cathecism. There are funny moments (many of them), sad moments, songs that make you want to get up and dance and yes, some of you may even have a religious experience. I was surprisingly moved to tears a couple of times. Everything works in this show. The sound, the band, the multimedia, the choreography, the singing, it's all spot on. There were a couple of points where actors didn't hit their lighting mark but not many will notice. Get your tickets, bring your friends (they'll like you even more), organize a church group everyone will LOVE this show. Run, don't walk to this show. Collapse

        Matthew - CJ Blankenship Mark - Sean O'Connor Luke - Darrin Glesser Juan - Manuel Romero Abraham - Andrew Willis-Woodward Outside of NY, this is the best production of the show I've ever seen.
