Musical theater lovers won't want to miss On The Town currently on the
Mackey Main Stage at the Beck Center for the Arts through this Sunday,
April 10, 2005.  Directed by Fred Sternfeld, this uplifting show
featuring such memorable songs as "Lucky to Be Me" and "New York, New
York" will have you singing along with the tunes and rooting for the
loveable characters that have been immortalized on-screen by Gene Kelly
and Frank Sinatra.

Here's what the critics are saying about this musical extravaganza.

=20

 "On The Town is something to celebrate...It's a celebration of youth,
written by and about young people full of innocence and hope and on the
cusp of life in uncertain times.  It's a celebration of the rich canon
of musical theater, which director Fred Sternfeld and a dedicated
ensemble bring to vivid life at the Beck Center for the Arts...Like its
youthful creators, 'On The Town' is a young piece that hints at the
future greatness of its innovators.  Full of zaniness, cornball humor,
and a storyline as improbable as it is fanciful, the show nonetheless
offers nonstop entertainment...Thanks to Beck's artistic director, Scott
Spence, and director Fred Sternfeld for bringing this effervescent
classic to the forefront."

 ~  Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News

"...There are several tasty performances, including one from the
silk-throated and take-charge Aimee Collier as a playfully randy Hildy
Esterhazy...a number of performers prove worth writing home from the Big
Apple about.  Joe Fornadel, Colin Cook and Sean Szaller add up to a
happy threesome as sailors Ozzie, Chip and Gabey, particularly in their
'New York, New York' trio.  Maggie Stahl has zanily toothsome allure as
Claire De Loone and Katelyn Blockinger killer gams as the subway's 'Miss
Turnstiles,' Ivy Smith.  Several dancers in the ensemble turn
heads...Collier's rarin'-to-go, taxi-driving Hildy has the vocal prowess
and bubbly presence the show could use more of...It's lovely hearing all
those fetching Bernstein tunes..."

~  Tony Brown, The Plain Dealer

=20

"...song and dance still appropriately supply the work's central
charms... Sternfeld deftly employs a company of nearly 40 to carry out a
string of his patented, admirably detailed crowd scenes, and he's
engaged several attractive lead performers...choreographer Martin
Cespedes has devised several gracefully retro recreations that are
always stylish and occasionally radiant."=20

~  James D'Amico, Cleveland Free Times=20
