Christmas in the Air
by cxk on 12/26/19Beau Rivage Theatre - BiloxiRating: 3 out of 5The art direction and set design were good, and the singers were well-trained and enjoyable to listen to. Dancers were also quite good and lively, and lent a great deal of energy to the show, though the choreography was not spectacular. The show was also clearly well-rehearsed, though it moved a bit slowly in parts. It would be great to have had a live band or orchestra; canned music is depressing, in my view. The best moment in the show was when the young lady played her fiddle. She is a competent fiddle player, and her ability should have been showed to greater advantage with a longer set and / or more opportunities to play. Create some jobs by hiring more live musicians!! Finally, the dialogue was very poorly written, though the cast clearly did their very best to deliver it well and to make the show as entertaining and interesting as possible, for which I commend them. Dancers, singers, and entertainers were obviously well-trained professionals making the best of weak material. Therefore, please invest in a talented scriptwriter and choreographer. I cannot stress enough how bad the script was.
