...performers. Not only did Jennifer L. Brown ’07 (Luisa) and Arlo D. Hill ’08 (Matt), the two leads, boast rich, pure singing voices, but their acting also tempered the mawkish sincerity of the show’s script with a subtly ironic twist. Other actors who delivered scene-stealing performances included Baruch Y. Shemtov ’09 and Benjamin K. Glaser ’09 as Hucklebee and Mortimer, respectively. The small-framed, raspy-voiced Shemtov has played improbable roles before, as in his performance as Big Babushka in “Slavs?...
