Two reviews for the price of one… This past weekend I saw P.S./I.S. 180’s Guys and Dolls and Leon M. Goldstein High School’s The Wizard of Oz and enjoyed them both. Joe Barone (Sky Masterson), America Casallas (Sarah Brown), Jimmy Alexander (Nathan Detroit) and Nicole Albanese (Miss Adelaide) were splendid in their title roles, and Eddie Rodriguez (Benny Southstreet) and Daniel Petric (Rusty Charlie) brought comic relief to the Damon Runyon story. Haley-Jo Kenny was a delight to watch and listen to as Dorothy in a quite unusual rendition of The Wizard of Oz. The evening was fun-filled and interesting, with all of my favorite songs from the original movie done to perfection. This production also included some songs from the Broadway play The Wiz. Kudos to D’Anna McAuliffe (Scarecrow), Ian Petersen (Tinman), Jessica Cartusciello (Lion), and a very humorous Chase Meyerson (Toto and the Wizard) for their wonderful portrayals. Mr. Meyerson’s post-production Q&A on Saturday with the audience and cast members was brilliant. Kudos also to both directors, Anthony Marino and Stephen Ryan, both faculty members, and their staffs. Ryan had a hilarious cameo as a tree in a scene he penned himself. All in all, and even with the wizard looking very much like SpongeBob Squarepants in a scene or two, it was two nights of wonderful and interesting theater.
