“[…] His unhappy daughter Louise (Susannah Harvey’s bravura dancing) is 15 and about to graduate. Billy sees her with a carnival barker very much like himself (Alex Iacobucci’s flawless dancing)“
“The ensemble of singers and dancers are amazing […]
I was also impressed with the Ballet scene when Billy comes back to earth to meet his daughter, Louise (Susannah Harvey), and her dance partner, Alex Iacobucci.”
McCauley’s interpretation was tenderest in her stage time with actor Alex Iacobucci as Toby, the mute orphan whose burgeoning romance with Monica is cut short by tragedy. Iacobucci imbued the nonspeaking role with humor and boyish ardor. His abuse at the hands of Madame Flora is tough to watch under any circumstance, but Vizin and Iacobucci’s to-the-hilt acting made it even more so.
“The two Mormon missionaries are played by Alex Iacobucci as Elder Braithwaite and Danny Ferenczi as Elder Shumway who are funny and talented. They will sing and dance their way into your heart. Perhaps if they start singing as soon as they ring the doorbell they will get better results!”
“The production features three performers: Julie Peterson (Ethel), Danny Ferenczi (Elder Schumway) and Alex Iacobucci (Elder Braithwaite). Those three belt out excellent vocals while being equally adept at injecting clever humor into the songs and dialogue.”
“Ferenczi and Iacobucci are both very talented singers and dancers, playing nicely in to the energetic but not over-the-top choreography by director/choreographer Ty Perry and the exquisite music direction by Jeremy Ramey.”
“As brilliant as the artistic direction, choreography, and music is, the cast of Music Theater Works’ Pippin makes it the incredible theatrical experience that it is. They will give you goosebumps. […]
I would put this ensemble up against any of the ensembles I have seen at the downtown theatrical powerhouses with massive budgets and Broadway stars. They are remarkable dancers and excellent singers. And even though they don’t have a lot of dialogue, they sell their characters with their expressions. The way they lock eyes with the audience is mesmerizing.”
“The terrific ensemble don’t hold back in their efforts to entertain the audience.”
“[…] My favorite part of this fine production of Pippin […] was its young and talented and eager and enthusiastic ensemble. Seriously, the ensemble works (and sings and dances and acts) their tails off.”
“The cast is as fresh and full of spunk and spirit as any production I’ve ever seen. The entire ensemble works tirelessly, seldom ever offstage and always involved in the story.”
