“The production absolutely sparkled, thanks to incredible stage direction from director Alyssa Weathersby. From the moment conductor Ken Yanasigawa came onstage to finish setting the chairs to reveal his baton sitting in one of them, and then the subsequent bit with the audience he had after the fact (well, more specifically, me, actually), I was absolutely laughing my behind off through the entirety of the performance [...] bubbly and hilarious stage work, from when the four-person chorus threw popcorn at Belcore […] to Dulcamara breaking out into the Gangnam Style dance in the wedding banquet.” [schmopera]
