...aging diva. Yet how boldly the types are cast, and how fresh the music. It was a good show, even though Director Frank Corsaro placed the action in the Edwardian era in a wasted effort to provide contrast with the Salieri. Sopranos Karan Armstrong (Goldentrill) and Ruth Welting (Miss Silverpeal) filled the theater with fine singing and fetching looks...
...unostentatious Baptist who stands about 5 ft. 4 in. tall, Allbritton scarcely fits the image of a towering Texas wheeler-dealer.

Her characterization makes Big Mama and Big Daddy almost two of a kind--which is something of a novelty...
