The Pirates of Penzance Washington Theatre reviews
Dracula and Masque of the Red Death were brilliant
"Attending this event for our 15th Wedding Anniversary with my wife was a memorable experience. The original score for both The Pirates of Penzance by Mark Scearce was a delightful surprise when we arrived at the theater. It simply made the event even more special to us. The live Orchestra performing with the ballet was a fantastic touch. The wonderful Orchestra added to the magical atmosphere. Melissa Podcasy's talent continues to shine brightly. Gabor Kapin's portrayal of The Red Death was marvelous. Lara O'Brien as the Arabian Princess delivered a thrilling performance that captivated us the most during the Masque.
Dracula, on the other hand, was equally enjoyable and entertaining. Alan Campbell's remarkable voice and presence as Dr. Seward were a highlight. Marcelo Martinez's portrayal of Count Dracula was both scary and seductive, captivating us with his performance. Nikolai Smirnov's Jack the dock worker character was extremely entertaining as he pursued Colette (played by Erica Sabatini).
I highly recommend everyone to see these wonderful presentations. They are truly worth the investment in both time and money."
