Part 1 of Houston's Christmas theater season with four plays reviewed. msthouston TET_Houston StagesHouston
Photo by Pin Lim / Forest PhotographyYou may have noticed that for the last few years Main Street Theater has had a little cottage industry humming away for the holiday season. It alternates Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon's two Christmas plays that feature the happily married Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy at their estate at Pemberley. Need I remind you that Lizzie and Mr.
Gunderson and Melcom don't do much with Elizabeth and Darcy, keeping them mostly offstage and only using them when appropriate to the building drama. They wring their hands over the troubles, then declare their love and look for a quiet nook to canoodle. There is no quiet nook to canoodle, certainly not anywhere near this kitchen. They should know that.
The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley. Through December 18. 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 3 p.m. Sundays. Main Street Theater, 2540 Times Boulevard. Call 713-524-6706 or visit mainstreettheater.com. $39 – $59.Photo by by Ricornel ProductionsMain Street Theater's other cash cow for the holidays are its Theater for Youth productions at the always bustling Midtown Arts & Theater Center Houston . This year's entry is a very fine rendition of Rodgers and Hammerstein's.
Aili Maeve was sweet-voiced and the picture of clarity as Cinderella. If you closed your eyes, her crystalline voice almost parodied Julie's. Her Prince, Daniel Lopez, who can croon with the best of them, was a trifle wooden, but since his part is mostly singing anyway, he did just fine. Kaitlin Kennedy as feisty Godmother Marie was sassy and warm; while Diana Alcaraz Villa and Megan Jankovic as the Stepsisters were appealingly gauche, touched by that just-right attitude of clueless.
you can get even more up-close and personal to this multi-talented and spirited Houston-native singer/actress in her one-woman romp through her life in her own cabaret-style revueMoore has unquenchable fervor, an irrepressible savvy and easy rapport with the audience, and an abiding faith in God and family. She also loves show business. It shows.
