Adrienne Benz was Amazing
by notlikely on 5/2/17Ohio Theatre - ColumbusAdrienne Benz was amazing as Juliet--I will miss her work on stage but she went out with gusto. David Ward was great as well. However, Lady Capulet chewed the scenery on Tibalt's death. Over done. And the barmaids/ladies of loose morals dancing with the townsfolks while dressed like gypsies? Please. No. Also there were some bits that just seemed unnecessary--Juliet leaves to go speak with her confessor and we see her leave her rooms then a curtain chain and she dances for a moment in front of her home - same on the return. Not needed. maybe some more of act 4 or 5 - the missed letters could have been included without all the unnecessary business. Also - the priest carries the almost poison in his pocket? He could have ducked off and come baack or even mimed taking it from a cabinet.
