Terry Teachout, drama critic for Wall Street Journal, sojourned to Cleveland
to take in productions by The Cleveland Play House and Great Lakes Theater
Festival. 
 
Read about his trip to Cleveland on his blog:

and read his RAVE review of The Cleveland Play House production of NOISES
OFF, which appeared in the October 17 issue of The Wall Street Journal
 
[excerpt]: "Once the nine doors of James Leonard Joy's two-story set start
slamming, the laughter starts swelling in a crescendo so protracted that
it's a wonder people don't faint in the aisles from sheer exhaustion. David
H. Bell, the director of this production, is a specialist in musical comedy
who doubles as a choreographer, which may help to explain the miraculous
exactitude with which he has staged Noises Off. Every comic bomb goes off at
the right split-second, and no one in the nine-person cast acts as though
anything happening onstage is supposed to be amusing -- the cardinal rule of
farce."
