UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
'Fun evening at 'Mamma Mia!'
-By SAMANTHA PIDDE Carroll County News ...As always, the TLP cast gives a stellar performance during this production. ...Guest performers Mia Fryvecind Gimenez and Lara Hayhurst (through the Actor's Equity Association) are Donna's best friends Rosie and Tanya. Both inject a lot of humor and friendship into the roles. Hayhurst portrays the high maintenance and flirtatious Tanya wonderfully, especially in "Does Your Mother Know." One of the more entertaining songs in the second act is definitely Rosie's (Gimenez) aggressive flirtation of Bill in "Take a Chance on Me." http://www.mycarrollcountynews.com/opinion/article_bb08ce3c-ae24-11e9-9230-c70d378e5b8c.html |
Super Troupers: “Mamma Mia!”, at the Timber Lake Playhouse through August 4
-By Pamela Briggs River City Reader ...That wish goes for the entire cast, in fact, and there aren't words enough to give them all the praise they deserve. Kaitlin Lawrence, the "mamma" in Mamma Mia, and Lara Hayhurst and Mia Fryvecind Gimenez, who play her friends, completely dazzled me. Lawrence has lots to do and she does it all brilliantly; I'd like to be her when I grow up. For her part, Hayhurst is the best physical comedian I've ever seen live. Her "Does Your Mother Know" with Logan Dolence and the ensemble, was so delightful I never wanted it to end. And Fryvecind, with Darren Mangler, performs a very entertaining "Take a Chance on Me." In this number, her character is not a supplicant as the lyrics might suggest, but a dominant woman who is not asking – she's telling. These three women should tour together. And Mangler, James Tweedale, and Andrew Varela – who also log a lot of stage time – are appealing and manage both drama and comedy with ease. https://www.rcreader.com/theatre/super-troupers-mamma-mia?fbclid=IwAR2ZK0Hfk_OLDyiArwvGVbjuMRU75CuQh0dAPd-ZikhNgHERmaD5jh3DRV0 |
