Berko review: A BEAUTIFUL NOISE (KEY BANK BROADWAY SERIES)
by Roy Berko 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: This is not a great musical. It won’t ever be compared to GYPSY, WEST SIDE STORY or even RAGTIME, but for Neil Diamond fanatics, or for those who love his music, it will more than be a pleasing experience. The music is fine, the dancing is dynamic and the concert-level staging is enveloping. It’s worth a sit-through.To read the entire review go to: https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ <https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/> To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ <https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/>••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Kennelly review of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Great Lakes Theater
by Laura Kennelly 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

This Great Lakes Theater production of William Shakespeare’s *A Midsummer Night’s Dream *should tempt even jaded, experienced Shakespeare lovers into venturing into Oberon’s magic realm once again. Luck, love, and acting triumph in this wonder world. Director Sara Bruner and her excellent accomplices (cast and crew all) wove soap opera (love/hate relationships) with comic farce (adventures in the woods) to create a refreshing romp into a world that never was. Great Lakes chose a new take on Shakespeare’s classic, this one translated by Jeff Whitty (who wrote *Avenue Q*). Whitty’s version neither mangles the original nor turns it into a word circus. The result? Raucous laughs. For more go to https://coolcleveland.com/2024/10/theater-review-a-midsummer-nights-dream-g…
