On the Town

This Bernstein piece with book by Comden and Green is one of the most ambitious pieces that I have seen this society attempt.  While the plot is thin, the piece is packed with incident, giving a lot of opportunity for individual characterisation.

The set, showing the Manhattan skyline was effective.  The museum scene was particularly well realised.

LX/FX effects worked well though spots were late up a couple of times

Costuming and make up generally conformed to period.  Chorus deportment was good.  Poses were maintained well during the several freezes required.  There was a strong principal cast

The relentless pace set by the director made this a colourful and exciting show.
