Thoroughly enjoyed Tick Tick Boom at Theater at San Pedro Square this evening (12/21) in SJ, and urge your taking it in. So well done. Sunday's 2 pm show (12/23) is final one. Definitely worth the effort to fit it in during the hectic holiday period. Kudos to the three performers and the musicians. Collapse

I'm not a big fan of "Rent" or musicals generally, and only came along with a friend... But this performance really made an impact. All three performers were awe-inspiring and deserved a much larger audience. Granted, if you are somewhat over 30 as we are, you may initially balk at the show's premise that hitting 30 is one of life's major crises... and some of the first act songs left me unmoved by the banality of the lyrics (do i want to hear an ode to a bagel?) But, lyrical limitations aside, the music packs a punch, and songs like "Real Life" and "See Her Smile" were beautifully and movingly done; by the second act my personal reservations about the subject matter had left my head altogether. Excellent direction and choreography and strong muscial support too. Really, if you want to see a show this weekend, this is the one to see. Don't miss it! Collapse

As of this review, there are only two performances left to see Tick Tick Boom! Do yourself a favor and see this wonderful show. First, the venue is totally cool, you can enjoy a nice beverage and there is a total New York groove. Very intimate, great set. More important, the three actors (Andrew Ceglio, Sara Stein and Nick Ceglio) were AMAZING. Great vocals, great acting, wonderful energy. We knew nothing about the show and we all really enjoyed it. I wish that I had seen TTB before I saw "Rent," I would have enjoyed it even more, knowing what I now know about Jonathan Larson. The three actors' voices blended beautifully and their musicianship was quite evident. It was well worth a trip from Los Gatos to downtown San Jose. Do your part to support local theatre and see this great show, you will not regret it. Collapse

Last night I had the pleasure of discovering a new (at least for me) gem in downtown an Jose. We were a group of 10, including three children, and we all loved Amahl and the Night Visitors. The intimacy of the small theatre added to the impact of a heart-warming story in song of a mother (Layna Chianakas) and son (Jake Austin) in their journey from despair to inspiration. The quality of the acting and vocal talent is superb. As I looked around the theatre, I noticed more then a few people dabbing wet eyes. This is a "don't miss" to add to your holiday celebrations.

Menotti composed this short one-act opera for children, but the joyous story transcends generations. I out-chuckled our three grandchildren, but it was close! After the show,Ryan, our 8year-old grandson and I had a lengthy discussion on the moral of the story--he brought up the subject! The soloists were excellent. Layna Chianakas as the mother was exceptional with great stage presence and superb voice; Amahl along with the three kings sold the story line; and the dancersand chorus added nicely to the fun. The orchestra, under the direction of Barbara Day Turner, was exquisite in their more than supporting role of the well-crafted and difficult score, and Daniel Helfgot's direction was special indeed in the small surroundings--terrific imagination. The intimate venue is delightful. I highly recommend this eventfor all during this Christmas season. Congratulations to THE Artist's Theatre Repertory Ensemble. Collapse

My parents took me to see Amahl on Sunday. I didn't think I would like to see opera but I loved it! I loved the lady singing and the boy who was Amahl was really good. I want to see it again. And my little brother really liked it too. And I loved the hot cocoa after the play with all the whipped cream. Collapse
