Sorry I wasn't able to see THE BEATLES SLEPT HERE at Riverwalk last weekend, but the new grandchild in North Carolina was a slightly bigger draw. Glad I didn't miss the show, however, because, as a true Beatlemaniac of the 60's, I got a kick out of every music clip, reference and pun. The All-of-us Express youth performers were full of energy, and well directed by Rick Dethlefsen. The chase scene, as always, was a hit -- and the addition of fan-screaming added to the fun.
All-of-us Express shows are a notch up in "commitment" from MMFT shows, which rehearse less oftenmaking it easier for first-timers, and welcomes adult performers. All-of-us Express, based at the Hannah Center (where all their other shows are performed) casts only youth 18 and under, and has a more rigorous rehearsal schedule.
The Beatles Slept Here was a fun romp, with 24 talented kids. Standouts included Ainsley Louagie as the conniving Clarabell, Austin Tanner as Sgt. JoJo Paprika, Breckan Erdman as Eleanor Diggby, Nick Cook as Mr. Mustard, Katie Lewis as Lizzie Belmont, Paige Scholten as Lucy Lawson, and Matt Thompson as Detective Johnny B. Goode.
The next show just started at Riverwalk at 4:30 today, so if you're reading this, you missed it. There's ONE MORE show at 2pm tomorrow, Sunday, April 28.
Parking can be difficult when Impression 5 is open during the day. Note that there is curb parking is available on Museum Drive and overflow parking beyond the turn-around loop at the end of Museum Drive. Also, if you park in the lot behind The Knight Cap etc., it's a short walk along the river to RWT's front door.
