The Wild Party, STAGEStheatre - Fullerton (2008)

Cast: Jeanette Phillips (Queenie), Alex Mohajer (Burrs), David Belowich (Black), Laura Thatcher (Kate), & an amazing cast
For complete info on this show, see The Wild Party on the Stages Theatre site.

I had never seen The Wild Party and was really looking forward to it, but I'd never been to the STAGEStheatre before and any time I go to a new regional theatre, there's a bit of fear that the quality won't be that great. I've been to some theatres where the main performers were worse than most high school productions I've seen. The STAGEStheatre is not one of those. The cast was truly amazing! I wish I knew which character the dancer was - I'd like to list him in the cast. His dancing was wonderful. I'm surprised he's not doing ballet professionally somewhere. Perhaps he didn't want to live in New York or one of the other major cities with ballet companies and doesn't like to travel, but WOW.

The Wild Party is in performances until May 10th, so you've got plenty of time to get to Fullerton. The price is reasonable (it's regional theatre) and the production quality is GREAT! Warning, there is a LOT of smoke (cigarette and smoke machine) and it drove my allergies beyond crazy, but it was worth it to see this show. I'd see another show at the STAGEStheatre in a heartbeat!

I'd wanted to see The Wild Party for a while. I'm still bummed I missed seeing Idina Menzel & Taye Diggs in it (heck, I've never seen Taye in anything and I still hope to someday), but I'm glad I got to see it. Definitely not a show I need to own on CD, but well worth seeing and this production is great!

Grade: B+
