They were average folks who wanted their children to grow up having sat in the front row of Fenway Park, having chased down a wayward foul ball to the cheers of the other fans in the park, having watched baseball on a Thursday afternoon. The only thing missing was a peanut guy who could hurl a bag of nuts across four rows of people with pinpoint accuracy...
Despite the play's difficulty, several cast members in this Quincy House production took full advantage of their moment in the spotlight. Bob Kim, in the role of the judicial King, does a splendid job, projecting a magnificent aura of power.

Classical ballet and the music of Tchaikovsky were, after all, their heritage. When a Nureyev or a Baryshnikov fled the country, people imagined that the Kirov was full of such melancholy geniuses. Now, with frequent touring, it is easy to decide for oneself the quality of the emperor's clothes...
