Interesting staging, great vocal talent throughout, but the pace of the show seemed stilted. It just never truly got off the ground for me.
The entire cast, orchestra and crew should be congratulated for an incredible performance!
Absolutely wonderful!!! The cast was perfect! Signature theater is a great venue!!!
Music was wonderful. The singing varied, but main characters were great.
This was my first time visiting the "new" Signature Theater. The theater itself was very cool. Being so close to the actors and action no matter where you are seated really adds to the experience. The small space does not leave a lot of options for scenery but I thought they did a fantastic job. Also, the quality of the music and singing was as good as anything I've seen.
i loved the theater most of all and the play was intimate and colorful
The actors were excellent. Voices struggled in the beginning but warmed up. It was an enjoyable polar and seeing it at the signature was special to be so close to the actiion.
A wonderful, innovative production of Sunset Blvd. at the Signature Theater in Arlington is not to be missed! The set, the actors and the orchestra made for a very enjoyable evening!
Excellent quality all around, plus cozy seating. Broadway quality with local convenience.
AFter missing the show since it opened, I lucked up and got to see it before it leaves Signature; am happy that I did, What a marvelous stage production; the cast was "on their job" the "car" stole the show!
Terrible plot--no connection with the characters. Melancholy music.
This was a powerful performance for the Signature Theater, which always provides top-notch entertainment. Florence Lacey and DB Bonds were spot-on in their roles as Norma Desmond and Joe, respectively. How incredibly fortunate we are to have such talent in our midst! I was also very impressed with the set design and seamless flow between acts. I would highly recommend this performance - and anything that Signature puts on stage - to everyone. Support this theater - it is a gem!!
The staging was excellent--crisp and fast. The singers and actors were talented and most enjoyable. The music of Andrew Lloyd Webber was outstanding.
The voices are wonderful and the actor/actresses were fantastic. Great show. Hated to see it end! Must See!
Perfect casting for Nora. It works well as a musical (surprising to me), but no memorable songs. My first time at Signature. Theater is wonderful.
A lively production of a movie classic. Exceptionally well staged with an enthusiastic, talented cast. The orchestra lends a classy touch.
The entire production was outstanding. There was not a weak link in the entire cast and the Orchestra was Perfect!!.. Kudos to Signature for again doing a great job.
An excellent small stage adaptation of a Broadway spectacular. Over the top performances where appropriate and understated when necessary. Highly recommend.
The ensemble was energetic and fun and everyone was in fine voice . Florence Lacey was was grand. She was the glamorous, fragile, loosely wrapped, never say die Norma. Special kudos to Susan Derry & Ed Dixon, as Betty and Max, respectively. The evening was well placed & the staging was clever, but only added to and never distracted from the performance. And having such a full orchestra at a regional production was a very special treat. Not quite amazing but an excellent night of theater that made me at least reevaluate this play and elevate it in the pantheon of Andrew lloyd Weber scores.
The performance exceeded my expectations. The singing and acting were great, and the characters had genuine traits, it was as if we were there with them as part of the performance. The leads were stunning, but the supporting cast was stellar as well. I would definitely recommend this to friends, family. Upon leaving, i heard an elderly couple comment that it was the best performance they had seen to date at the Signature Theater, and i could tell that their assessment carried weight.
