What I liked
So many things that I don’t know where to start..
-The band for one! My god do they know how to jam.
-Alli’s showstopping number…you’ll know it when you see it.
Reagan’s spot on portrayal as a "f— boy" version of Romeo.
And Mercutiehoe was adorable.
-Fringe favorite Michael Shaw as the bard himself. Quite impressive performance.
-KC knocked my socks off! A true queen of the cherries.
-The dynamic duo of Magique Monique and Trixie Treble
-Corey as the sinister Tightass (Evil eyes for days)
- Tyler and Shannon’s pipes! Nuff said
-My girl Kim’s isolation of her characters
-Schoen’s absolutely hysterical comedic timing
…my list is turning into a novel so I digress.
What I didn't like
Not a damn thing!….wait, I have one.
That I wasn’t in this production! I honestly can’t get over how good this was.
My overall impression
The Cherries never cease to amaze me! Ever since I was introduced to them last year, I have been a die hard CP fan. I even had the honor to perform with them. Now although the talented women and men of the cherries are talented (AF!) this show manged to exceed my already high expectations and put them on another level. From the witty writing, amazing costumes, pitch perfect solos and harmonies, and great comedic acting. I was mind boggled and floored at how well this show was executed. Shakespeare is head banging in his grave in appreciation. You only have one more chance to see it so if you haven’t, run Forrest run! I love Cherry Poppins! Always have and always will.
