Rapunzel needs life support
by barbaralibra on 12/11/13St. George Theatre - Staten IslandThis production was very amaturish. Most actors were long in the tooth for their parts. When Rapunzel was born the man who played her father looked in his sixties and the mother was up there too. Woman who played the wicked step-mother was also old looking and Rapunzel looked twice the age she ws supposed to be. The prince was the only young one and he looked like a baby so it was ridiculous. Props and scenery were minimal and also weary. The so-called beautiful garden was comprised of old plastic flowers. Costumes looked shabby, old and dirty. Not one change of costume for anyone in the 18 year time span. Expected to maybe see a grand wedding at the end but it never happened. The only highlight were the songs. They were kind of cute. My granddaughter got bored. Thank goodness the tickets were only $20 but I would not go again to see this troupe in any production.
