While new artistic leaders took over at Marriott, Goodman and Metropolis theaters this year, Aurora s Copley Theatre heralded a new era with the inauguration of its Bold Series in its newly renovated, 165-seat theater.
In addition to its ideal cast, it is the seamless and often breathtaking dance sequences that set this production of “Hello, Dolly!” at Marriott Theatre apart.
Some people understandably roll their eyes at the very thought of seeing ‘The Sound of Music’ again. But Marriot’s production’s naturalistic yet fully theatrical quality, along with its subtle sense of dramatic rhythm, creates a level of profound emotion that too often is lost in revivals of this show.
Marriott Theatre s revival of "The Sound of Music" boasts a winsome Maria, an angelic nuns choir and adorable child actors who are the right age and temperament to convincingly portray the famed von Trapp siblings.
