Berko review: ONCE ON THIS ISLAND @ Beck Center
by Roy Berko 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••Capsule judgment: The stage was constantly displaying well-conceived stage pictures, the choreography was not only creative, but visually encapsulating, and the entire production was a master class in how to create an audience pleasing show that developed the intent and purpose of the author. In fact, it actually made more of the storyline than Lynn Ahrens created. This is musical theatre at its finest! Bravo!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: www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/>••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
