Verdict for Candide

Music :|

Pleasant but not memorable.

Story :|

Twists and turns to nowhere.

Singing :)

Beverley Klein, now that is a voice that projects. Her peers could learn a thing or two from those vocal chords.

Production/Scenery :)

A word about the program design - personally I find it very attractive, but strange choice of type face, and some people might find the image on the cover very misleading.

Lighting :) :)

by Paul Pyant, brilliant, pun not intended.

Costume :)

Acting :) :)

Daniel as Candide was good from start to finish, but Beverley Klein's performance was a joy to behold, it made the show for me.
