Of course, as director, I can’t objectively “review” CINDERELLA at Riverwalk,. but I CAN say that it’s been VERY well received, with growing audiences. It’s “general seating” but still pays to have reservations; we could sell out this weekend!
The Stepsisters (Edric Haleen and Bob Murrell) are hilarious; the Troubadour (Angela Wright) is your new best friend; you’ll fall in love with Cinderella (Hayley Mulcrone) and the Prince (Miles Hayes) and laugh along with the nearsighted stepmom (Kris Pecora) and discombobulated Fairy Godmother (Joanna Klepal). I have a special place in my heart for the “mice” since I’m related to two of them (daughter Emily and grandson Anderson Stevens, cutest 8-year old mouse ever.) Children’s-Theatre Stalwarts Anna Maier and Danny Ferris add their flair to the all-purpose rodent crew.
Special thanks to Magical Musician Doug Austin (with the incomparable Guiseppe Ravioli), Costume Wizard Kris Maier (with wigs & makeup by Rebecca Street and Susie Perazza) and producer/set/lighting/magic facilitator Tom Ferris - with David Cooper in the booth. Backstagers Cheryl & Jeremy Northum, Sharon Straubel (also did props) and Mark Zussman make a well-oiled set-twirling machine.
ONE MORE WEEKEND 7pm Friday, 2 & 4:30 pm Saturday (482-5700 - www.riverwalktheatre.com $5/$7)
RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) performances are 7pm Thursday and 2pm Sunday. To get RIF tickets ($5) call 755-4966 or email Jennifer.Otto@lansingschools.net. (Each child at a RIF show gets a free book.) I believe RIF tickets will be available at the door on Thursday and Sunday - IF they are not sold out.
