Elmer Gantry

Brilliant contemporary opera with young performers. Opera has all the components of classic opera, including romantic arias, quartets, and a dramatic ending.
Effectively reflective of Bible Belt culture in the U.S. during that era. Fine acting. Engaging. Puts right in your face the conflicts which arise from human flaws, religious fanaticism, and unfettered capitalism. Yet the humorous context served as most of life generally does....to distract us from acknowledging the destructive instincts that we display. No one really wins and we all go on to the next page of the script, rather on earth or thereafter.
Fabulous production from start to finish. Music was terrific and very strong cast. Bravo!!!
this is a must see moment. You would be missing out if you don't catch it before it's final days and DC. The singing is powerful it moves you
A most enjoyable and entertaining evening of theater. Overall well done production with a very talented cast. Mary Kate Morrissey is outstanding. Interesting story. Great set..great music..great costumes, choreography...just overall well done.
A phenomenal effort in producing a musical about a shuckster minister. Very strong singing cast and an impeccable orchestra with a terrific job at reducing the original score for a smaller venue. All of the actors are first class. The only blemish is that the 2 leads do not strongly define their characters, especially in the beginning. Whether this is intentional or not is not clear, but it leaves the audience not totally clear how evil and canniving Elmer is, or whether his female counterpart is really a true believer. For Christians attending the production, a lot of the music that is set in a "shuckster" setting could legitimately be rousing music in a church service.
Excellent show!! Th whole cast shined. I would highly recommend it.
