What an enjoyable and kind of creepy production! I am amazed at the talent displayed by many of these actors. This complex story is told very effectively with the combination of narration and characterization. The movement on stage is purposeful and very well-choreographed and enhances the telling. And, their accents made me feel like I was in England. I'm glad I saw it. Don't miss it! Collapse

The focus of the play is on laughs rather than detail, though a fair bit of original Shakespearian material manages to sneak in. Although you won’t come away with a deeper understanding of King John from seeing this show (or who knows, perhaps you will), it does present Shakespeare in a way which is light and entertaining and which may inspire further interest. And it is very, very funny. Collapse

The ensemble of ladies of a certain age are all very well cast and a delight to watch in this script which is silly and predictable but well executed. Although the sold out house of 72 was a bit warm, and the plot a bit long, this is one of the best productions I have seen at Santa Clara Players. With the exception of a somewhat out of place silent montage during a scene change and a make-shift gurney that broke the 4th wall a bit, a fun piece for all ages! Collapse

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, performed by CMTSJ mainstage kids was incredible! The talented kids in this show had me laughing out loud and cheering them on each HI-larious musical number! I would pay much more to see a CMTSJ production as the talent that you see on stage is potentially the future talent of Broadway, as many CMT kids have performed on Broadway in some fantastic shows! I highly recommend anyone who is interested in seeing quality musical theater in San Jose, find their way to the upcoming productions - www.cmtsj.org! Collapse

*All the actors did a great job. They all performed their roles very well as the delivery was loud and clear with lots of emotion. I laughed through most of it and I could really relate to the plot. I think this play was my favorite SC Players productions that I have gone to. (I have seen about 7 of their plays in the last 3 years). We always like going to a SC Players play because the theater is small and comfortable and the shows are family oriented. I am planning on buying season tickets next season. Collapse

Spent an absolutely delightful evening at The Retro Dome. The Guggenheim crew definitely know how to define the concept of "Shout for Joy!" Their latest creation, "SHOUT," is lively, tuneful, well-choreographed, and boasts five amazingly talented women bringing popular music of the '60s to colorful and energetic life. But perhaps the best part of a Guggenheim production is the way in which their productions always keep the audience foremost in mind, and involve the folks in the dark with the bright antics on stage. We actually sang and clapped to a couple of songs and felt like we were part of the show! As a former critic for a cultural arts weekly ("Boston After Dark," from the 60's) as well, I can "professionally" state that this is a "must see" production. Support your local theatre!

CMT's Mainstage Production of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is one of the BEST productions since the original cast on Broadway. Kevin Hauge has once again brought his creative vision to life by taking originally a 12 person show into a SPECTACULAR WONDERFUL 35+ person show. I've had the fortune of seeing both casts, who are both extremely well acted but prefer the performance of the Oxford cast. Nick Perry as Leaf Coneybear brought the house down, as well as Chris Renalds as comfort counselor Mitch Mahoney and Ryan Vasquez as the dull but funny Vice Principal Doug Panche. One of the best parts of this production of the Spelling Bee is the addition of the dancers in three main numbers of the show. They were top notch dancers with one young lady who really stood out in each of the numbers, especially as the ballerina of one of the characters alter egos. She truly enjoyed her dancing role and was just as enjoyable to watch her. AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL CMT!!! Collapse

We were lucky enough to see the show twice on Saturday, March 6. I have seen literally hundreds of shows at CMT over the years, and this one exceeded my expectations. Not only is the show itself funny, engaging and entertaining, the characters portrayed by the young adults at CMT really came alive. The performers at CMT come from all kinds of backgrounds and levels of experience, but this was truly a team effort, with professionalism and care for the role each player had to execute. Comedy and character development is never easy, we were absolutely impressed and highly recommend everyone to see this show. If you need a pick-me-up from a tough week, SEE THIS SHOW. It will put a smile on your face, and you'll take pride in the fact that this company is still thriving and turning out great shows. Congratulations to CMT. Collapse

This script is predictablly cheesey but in a good way. Sweet and era appropriate, there's a solid band, supporting a beautifully constumed cast, who have some wonderful dance productions numbers and a smattering of standout songs. Greg Gobel elicits a sigh and a smile from his first note, the kind of voice that's so lovely, you wish he had more songs to sing. Timing was good for the most part with the comedy, but this is no deep theatre expereince. Go with an open mind, don't try to make sense of the keystone cop type plot, just enjoy the music and the sparkles and the slapstick and you'll leave happy. Collapse

This productions is packed with talent, from the actors, singers and dancers to the musicians, choreographer and designers. Tabard does an outstanding job bringing the show to life -- Unfortunately, the script should have been left peacefully in its grave. Still, despite the weak book scenes and the many ungainly songs that don't further the story, it's a musical worth seeing for the talent and energy of the performers, and the first-rate production values. Mary Kalita is a high-steppin' fireball as the ingenue lead, and every principal brings plenty to his or her role. Gary Stanford Jr. and Nes Fragoso are stand-outs in their comedic character parts, Keith Pennings is slick and convincing as a silver-tongued lawyer, and James Creer's warm baritone and winning smile make his solos a vocal highlight of the evening. Sets and costumes are sleek and elegant, evoking the excess of the Roaring 20s. Overall, worth seeing, but I wish this great team had picked a better show. Collapse

i was very impressed with this show! it far exceded my expectations(no pun intended) it was very impressive for a youth theatre production and i was blown away with many of the spot on english accents. the shows simple set and stunning blocking made the show move so smoothly. the theatre was darling and intimate, you can tell the actors and director take pride in the theatre and the shows they produce. the only reason i did not give this 5 stars was because there was a bit of backstage noise but again in such a small space that was to be expected. none the less it did not ruin the show for me in any way and i would absolutely recommend this show to my friends and anyone reading this. i was more then pleasantly surprised with the show and thought it was done incredibly well. GO SEE THIS SHOW YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. tix where cheap and worth it. Collapse

The Woman in Black is a wonderful show. It's genuinely creepy and had me on a low-level adrenaline kick for a good half-hour after I left.

I adored this production. It has been a long time since I have seen such an excellently acted, superbly directed piece of art. This piece was suspenseful, beautiful and masterfully acted. The effects (sound, lighting, and 'special') were wonderful and had our entire audience jumping and cringing. Ross Harkness and James Lucas were superbly paired and should work together much more often. Ambera DeLash as the woman in black was terrifying (though far too beautiful)! Angie Harkness did an amazing job with the staging and casting of this show. Any actor should consider it an honour to work with her. I highly suggest this show for anyone who enjoys a good scare and excellent theatre. If everyone invited me to make a show suggestion, this one would be it. Collapse

This show is a lot of fun. I went with a friend and was whispering stuff like "Oh, that's a reprise from HSM!" to her throughout. Haha, I'm almost too old for that, but seriously, this cast provides a good time and the music itself is full of energy. Now, all the cast is great but people I really noticed were: Troy, who has an impressive voice and knows how to use it, and also has the moves; Gabriella, who has a voice that rivals Troy's. Chad was a favorite early on, and Sharpay's acting is so perfect for that character. The little girl assistant is a bright spot as well. Each cast member's character (Ryan, Kelsi, etc) comes out so well, and there are too many examples of that to mention here. With the singing polish and stage presence, many of these kids must be CMTSJ alum, and if not, take that as a compliment. I should admit that I have some great friends on the staff and crew, but this is the essence of what I told them, and now you have it too. Go see it! Collapse

This Spelling Bee musical is an extremely enjoyable show. I wasn't sure what to expect, but what I got was about 2 hours of off the wall characters and musical numbers. The cast of characters is diverse and dynamic. Each character is enjoyable and has an interesting story to tell. It may be set in a spelling bee, but that doesn't limit the action. There is a lot going on in this show. It is hard not to get sucked into the reality of the spelling bee as the actors do a great job of portraying each unique participant in the spelling bee. From magical feet to a conversation with Jesus, it's definitely an interesting ride. I would recommend this show to anyone who wants to see something funny, creative, and well acted. The theatre is also very intimate and makes the experience all that much more enjoyable. Collapse

I have seen La Boheme many times and I feel that Mission City Opera did a great job. Everybody I saw in the lobby seemed to agree that the acting and singing were on a very high level all around. The chorus was a little weak, but one comes to hear the leads and they did not disappoint. The previous reviewers comments about the Mimi looking 30 years too old is ridiculous. All the leads looked and sounded terrific and I was very impressed with this local production. The orchestra was excellent and the super titles helped a lot. Very nice venue. Look forward to seeing another opera there. Collapse
