This 2 and a half hour comedy is set in the Middle Ages and plays almost like a musical due to the exquisitely complex poetic verse-dialogue that “sings” from the lips of each player. The humor, the irony, the wit, and the angst each character exudes captures us and holds us throughout. Teresa Hamm’s period-perfect costumes enhance the look and atmosphere. The cast understands and respects the cleverness of Fry’s work. You’d be hard pressed to witness a finer ensemble easily navigating the difficult text.

Despite some repeating dialogue, playwright Jake Perry has penned a fresh look at the closure sought from a five year old breakup. Add the mystery of how and by whom their friend died and Closure has the elements of a fine mystery.

Besides the swank sophisticated Latin-rhythmic dances, marvelously choreographed by Stacey Flaster, Scoundrels features exquisitely timed comic turns form Larry Wyatt, Michael Mahler, Larry Adams and especially Paula Scrofano, as the wacky and lonely American millionaire Muriel. Dara Cameron beautifully plays Christine Colgate who isn’t who she appears to be.

A Chorus Line is the greatest backstage musical ever – and one of the finest dance shows ever! The 1975 show won 9 Tony’s and a Pulitzer as it run for 6, 137 performance – a record at the time. It was Michael Bennett, Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban’s masterwork. A Chorus Line is a simple yet telling work about a group of dancers, “gypsies” who are auditioning for a spot in the chorus of a new Broadway show.
