I thought I’d seen the highlight of the production when the amazing cast began singing…BUT NO, the highlight was the fabulous choreography by Ray Limon…. BUT NO, the glorious costumes were “spot-on” and so colorful and timely…BUT THEN I realized that the orchestra under the guidance of Joshua Carr hadn’t missed a beat, let alone hit a wrong note. SO, how on earth did the messages of race, age, prejudice, love, youth, blue-collar, jealousy, media, motherhood AND high school all fit into those glorious two acts? PLUS, you had to look up once in a while from the delicious cuisine of Willie Rhine to watch the stage!!! The magic that continues to be Desert-Theatricals, that’s how. www.desert-theatricals.com. Get your brooms and cauldrons ready for October and “The Addams Family”. It’s probably already sold out!!!!
