The highlight of the show for me was Tevye’s dream sequence. It’s one of the funniest and most fun moments of the show, and director Zahren pulled out all the stops to create a nightmarish experience. The ensemble was wonderful with their frenetically jerky movements as they surrounded the bed in which Tevye and Golda huddle. Bev Mead was perfect as Grandma Tzietel, showing off her pipes and stage presence. And Mia Fryvecind Gimenez was wonderfully scary as Lazar Wolf’s dead wife.

"There are a lot of strong performances here, led by two of the female leads. Mia Fryvecind Gimenez is a revelation as Reno. She’s a part of all the strongest musical numbers, singing duets on ‘You’re The Top’ (with Dustin Davis’ Billy) and ‘Friendship’ (with Jeffrey Allen Mead’s Moonface) and solo lead on ‘I Get a Kick Out of You’, ‘Blow, Gabriel, Blow’, and most notably of all the show’s title song, ‘Anything Goes’. She’s also on stage for the musical highlight of Act Two, being sung to by Sam O’Brien’s Lord Evelyn Oakleigh with ‘The Gypsy in Me’. Gimenez brings strong acting and dancing chops to her role in addition to her standout vocals." - David Pierce; IowaTheatreWordPress
