	Finian's Rainbow Presented by South Bay Musical Theatre at Saratoga Civic Theater January 28-February 18, 2012 Brilliantly tuneful, romantic and original, Finian's Rainbow is one of the most beloved classics of American musical theater. Enter the enchanting world of an Irish father and daughter who come to America in search of a better life, and find themselves among honest sharecroppers in the mythical state of Missitucky. But wait—there’s a magical twist to their story... a pot of gold and a leprechaun in hot pursuit!

	Guys and Dolls Presented by South Bay Musical Theatre at Saratoga Civic Theater May 19-June 9, 2012 Featuring colorful characters, hit songs and a clever story line, Guys and Dolls is a delightfully funny fable of gambling men and the women who long to tame them. It all begins with a bet: high-roller Sky Masterson wagers his cohort Nathan Detroit that he can successfully romance the seemingly unattainable Sarah Brown, leader of the Save-A-Soul Mission. Nathan has his own hands full trying to find a spot for his “floating” crap game while keeping one step ahead of his Guys and Dolls Presented by South Bay Musical Theatre at Saratoga Civic Theater May 19-June 9, 2012 Event Rating (0 votes)

  I am going to see The Producers again the second to last night. I had so much fun the end of September and thought it was very well. Now I will be able to see the improvements over the past three weeks. I was very impressed with the orchestra and the stage production. Keep it up. Collapse

  Great costumes and sets, a fabulous orchestra and perfect performances from Leo and Oola can't make up for the fact that this production isn't funny and the direction is not on par with the usually excellent work done by SBMT. It's unclear why the production team felt that the brilliant Mel Brooks script needed re-writing. Why add in scenes from the original film that were not included in the musical? Was SBMT given special license to do this? Highly doubtful. The addition of music from Gypsy was inappropriate, and the accompanying strip- tease was creepy and tacky. While the sets looked great, poor planning caused ridiculous scene shift problems that helped kill the comedy. The never- ending presence of smoke and dark mood-lighting made it seem like a 3-hour dream sequence from a Rodgers and Hammerstein show. Was this intentional? Let's hope there are better things to come from this group for the remainder of their season. Collapse
