...Petty is nevertheless successful when it departs from the typical bright yellow glow of day used throughout most of the show. Tolchinsky’s deadpan asides to the audience are lit by a single spotlight, later used to effectively highlight the lack of internal thought processes by the shepherdess Snetskaya (AnneMarie Alvarez). Rare moments of clarity or strong emotion—such as Sophia’s wish to break free or Tolchinsky’s recognition of his love for Sophia—are accentuated by soft blues and fiery reds.DeMita keeps the show quickly paced, throwing...

The Russian variation is always the most exciting, as the five men jump, stomp and cheer in fine style; the lead Russian on opening night, Christopher Buzdinski, wowed with his amazing jumps and consecutive flying splits. Mother Ginger and the eight Polichinelles under...
...marvelously villainous fop in the first act, although his performance wavers toward the end of the play with his character's transformation into a repentant lover.
