Comments received for Shakespeare in Hollywood

Audience review #1
Received from Nancy, Sunday, April 5

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "This Heights Players production of Shakespeare in Hollywood is a must see. It is better than Hollywood and the closest you'll get to Broadway in Brooklyn. All the actors are excellent; bigger than the stage they are on. Puck and Oberon are not to be missed -- see them before they move to the big stage."

Comments received for Pippin

Audience review #1
Received from Christine, Sunday, December 7

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "Nice job on the show tonight. I was sitting in the "hot zone" row A and was prepared beforehand in case I was asked to go up on stage. All of you did a great job and have a great run."

Audience review #2
Received from Sheila, Sunday, December 7

Overall: "Good"
Full comments: "Perhaps the main players should wear microphones. Whereas, the actors worked very hard and were very good, it was sometimes difficult to hear and muffled."

Audience review #3
Received from Jillian, Sunday, December 14

Overall: "Poor"
Full comments: "Despite a cast that gave its all -- I felt this wasn't Pippin. It seems the concept of the circus totally overwhelmed the production where I didn't feel anything for the characters. It's a shame. Beautifully sung, but I didn't get it."

Audience review #4
Received from Baroff, Tuesday, December 16

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "The split Lead Players are both frightening and seductive -- mesmerizing performances and an improvement from the original concept of one character. This production is filled with such bold choices. I highly recommend this entertaining yet thought provoking musical. Graphic and intense, it ain't The Sound of Music."

Comments received for Death of a Salesman

Audience review #1
Received from Frank, Monday, November 3

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "Wonderful! The Heights Players has more than done justice to this classic American play. Top notch production all around, lights, sound, sets and especially the acting. Everyone was good, but the actors playing the sons and the mother were brilliant! Two scenes actually made me cry openly. When Biff confronts his father, I felt the hair on my neck go up ... it was that powerful. I also cried at the funeral when Linda was saying goodbye. Don't miss this!"

Audience review #2
Received from Dina, Tuesday, November 4

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "Another great show presented by the Heights Players! Ted Thompson does a superb job in directing this Arthur Miller classic. Kudos to the whole cast and crew! A stand-out performance by Bill Barry as older son Biff. His emotional scenes truly illustrate the essence of Biff's tormented soul. His breakdown at the end of the play was heart-wrenching. Jeffrey Wisniewski is a terrific contrast to Biff as younger son Happy. Patricia Lavin brings much empathy and strength to the role of Willy's wife, Linda. Victor Barranca's portrayal of Willy Loman captures the 'Everyman' quality of the character. Personally I would have liked to have seen a more dynamic and forceful Willy, especially in the confrontational scenes. Nevertheless, I loved the show! It made me cry ... more than once!!"

Comments received for The Pirates of Penzance

Audience review #1
Received from Lalena, Sunday, October 5

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "My family and I went to see Pirates today and we enjoyed it very much! The cast is tremendously talented. My sisters and I have been watching the movie version of the show all our lives so we are very tough critics ... we loved it. Good job!"

Comments received for No Sex Please, We're British

Audience review #1
Received from Peter, Wednesday, September 17

Overall: "Excellent"
Full comments: "Hilarious! I laughed the entire time! The actors and direction in this hilarious farce are superb! The actors deftly carry off the comic timing and quick pace, especially during the second act. This is worth way more than the $15 you will spend on admission. So, why are you still reading this?! Go reserve your ticket now! There are only three more performances left."
