PRESS
“Glimmerglass Festival shines in [this staging of] Sondheim. Ethan Heard’s seamless direction brought characters seated on the sidelines onto the stage as Seurat imagined his painting into life. Ingenious projections. John Riddle and Marina Pires, gifted musical-theater performers, were an intense pair as George and Dot/Marie; as the Old Lady, Luretta Bybee brought a touching frailty to “Beautiful.” Michael Ellis Ingram was the astute conductor.”
-Wall Street Journal
“A feast. Powerful. Act 2 really works in this production. Heard makes a case for the possibility of generational maturing and healing.”
-DC Theater Arts
