Less successfully, the characters of Timon (Tyler Muree) and Pumbaa (Ben Lipitz) dutifully serve their function of lighthearted comic relief, but both actors appear to be consciously straining to imitate the precise vocal accents and delivery style of their cinematic predecessors (Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella, respectively). Worse, Zazu’s (Tony Freeman) over-acted comic antics and Rafiki’s (Phindile Mkhize) bouts of verbal incomprehensibility quickly grow tiresome...
...tough question for the Colombians: Will going high and low end work simultaneously? They want coffee sophisticates to be attracted to their cafes. But they also want the broad masses to buy co-branded Colombian coffee in the supermarket. "The key with rebranding," says Mindy Sabella, chief marketing officer at brand-strategy firm Addison, "is you can't occupy two positions at the same time." Despite the cafe initiative, the only place most of us will encounter a Juan Valdez logo is on a coffee...
...Lane and Sabella, veterans of the Guys and Dolls revival on Broadway, make up in dynamite comic camaraderie what they may lack in marquee value.

They chew beetles...
OSMOND IS fortunate to be surrounded by accomplished stage professionals. Peter Van Norden brings Anthony Anstey to disreputable life. Ernie Sabella does a hilarious burlesque comic turn. As the kooky Mrs. Kenworth, Anna McNeely is a model of repressed Edwardian sexuality ready to burst at her ample seams. Her awesome vocal apparatus displayed in "The Voice in My Heart" could not only blow the whole cast of Dreamgirls away but teach them some musical technique as well. Finally as Goldie Gates Maureen Brennan displays a lovely voice, marvelous comic timing, and a delightful ingenue quality...
