"Anything Goes" - Magic Circle Theatre

Left: Final bows.


Saturday night was the final performance of "Anything Goes" at Magic Circle. Because of all the Big Troubles last year, I hadn't seen Lauren Miller perform recently, nor had gone to Magic Circle at all, and so I wanted to correct that.

Tev Ditter played Sir Evelyn Oakley with a winning combination of sincerity and foppishness. Mark Ettensohn was crisp and energetic as Billy Crocker. Brent Null clearly enjoyed playing Moonface Martin. Interestingly, I noticed a ripple of sympathetic pleasure in the audience regarding Brent's performance: he was clearly connecting to the audience in an instinctive way. Christi Axelson was fun as Bonnie, and Jenna Cook played Hope Harcourt well. Lauren was fabulous, of course, and looked radiant in her gold lame dress.

Saw several friends in the audience I recognized: Jackie Clauson, Eileen Beaver, and Rick Wennstrom.
