...night belongs to the evil stepsisters, played by Adriana Suarez and Jennifer Glaze. Glaze, as the taller and clumsier of the two, sends the audience into guffaws with her ditzy facial expressions and ridiculously bad dancing. As the shorter and meaner daughter, Suarez is the kind of villain you love to hate--she pushes, pulls and grabs toys and fans away from her sister just as Glaze starts to admire them. The loudest applause came when the sisters try on Cinderella's lost slipper: Glaze finally fought back, slapping Suarez and pretending to throttle her. These two dancers combine impressive...
...WOMEN? GRAY'S QUERULOUS, chain-smoking, scatterbrained Chris matches husband Ken for droll facial expressions. In this respect, she edges Catherine M. Ingman '98, who plays sharp-tongued, slightly scornful Claire Ganz. Both, however, are upstaged by Jordanna M. Brodsky '99 as a hilariously dippy, brocade-clad Julia Child-like chef--aptly named Cookie--married to Ernie. Indeed, the odd-couple of Hawkes and Brodsky wins hands-down as the best pairing in the show, and it's a tribute to their skill that the somewhat corny physical humor delineated to them (especially Cookie) becomes irresistibly funny in their hands...
...others,' his kind and dreamy demeanor makes the Vicar's character an instant favorite, drawing both sympathetic sighs and peals of laughter from the audience. Tattenbaum and Sheflin, who play Constance and Mrs. Partlet, give commendable performances both vocally and dramatically, through Sheflin runs out of fresh facial expressions rather quickly. The minor characters, such as the Notary and the village chorus, manage to sing and dance engagingly without upstaging the larger roles. Even Benjamin Berwick '99 wins huge laughs from the audience with his three lines as the pintsized sized page Hercules...
Though boasting a cast of ten, Equus is really a two-man show. Fortunately, the two men were well-equipped to shoulder the burden. Clarke's Alan, in the tradition of Rain Man and Shine, made his tics and facial expressions consistent and believable without making a mockery of his mentally challenged character. As Dr. Dysart, McCarthy demonstrated an impressive command of a demanding script and shifted skillfully, if a bit belatedly, from two-dimensional straight man to anxious Everyman in the second...
Carrey is, of course, less an actor than a nuclear reactor. His answer to even innocent questions is a lightning fugue of hugely exaggerated facial ticks, bodily contortions and subverbal bleatings. His genius is for orchestrating these infantile responses in ways that are unduplicative, unduplicatable and explosively subversive. Since the curse Max lays on Fletcher makes him his own worst enemy, Carrey is led into long, hilarious wrestling matches with himself...
