The cast reads as a list of my favorite Millbrook actors: Tim Dietrick, Amy Temple, Marc de la Concha, Dax Valdes and Ali Kresch. I am torn between selfishly hoping to see them next summer or wishing that they are signed to big contracts that make super stars out of all of them.
Laura Jo Schuster, David Hudson, Amy Windle, Matt Kuhlman, and Sue Arter rounded out the cast. I suspect that several of these new comers may be on my favorite list next year.
It goes without saying that the show is funny. Neil Simon’s talent for fast, funny lines is well known. The problem is getting a cast to keep that pace and timing going throughout the play. This cast did it to perfection and added their own little quirks as well.
I can not mention the scenery and costumes too often this season. RUMORS takes place at a party in a upscale house with very successful friends. The evening gowns and jewelry set the mood and characters as they made their entrances. Without a doubt, this was the year of outstanding costumes.
We all would be very sad this evening if we thought that Millbrook Playhouse was finished until next year. Just when we think that we will have a long winter, it is announced that a special show will be held September 15, 16, 17, and 18. Marc de la Concha will be doing a one man show, Miss Margarida’s Way. Marc has played such a variety of roles at Millbrook and I can not wait to see what he does this time.
