Gypsy Reviews
DC Theater Arts- Recommended
"...The direction and tech work well. From the very beginning, when Joyce Liao’s marquee lighting and footlights and colored cyc all seem to dance along with the famous overture, director Sally Boyett is in full command of her space. She marks the scenes by titles projected on the cyc in old-fashioned type, and the scene changes are fast and smooth. She makes good use of the thrust stage, especially when Baby June (Aliza Cohen) performs her curtsey-kick-and-squeal to all three sides of the audience, again and again. Even though the stage is not large, and the cast is, the space never seems crowded, even during dance numbers."
MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended
"...It would be difficult to put “Gypsy” on stage without a strong leading role—Ethel Merman’s ghost is always waiting in the wings. Now playing at the Classic Theatre of Maryland, this production of “Gypsy” does not disappoint. Driven by the talent of Christine Asero as Mama Rose and the tight direction of veteran director Sally Boyett, the energy on stage never stops."
