while lacking any conflict to drive its loose plot, when you wish offers an authentic, emotional theme. in the beginning a little girl receives a bedtime story compilation of disney tales and visits several of these stories in her dreams. the little girl meets and interacts with characters from aladdin, the little mermaid, newsies, hercules, pocahontas and many more. throughout the night, her mother sings disney lullabies to calm the little girl’s troubled sleep. at the end of her adventure, the little girl pantomimes her experience to her mother, who responds in an understandably skeptic way. that is, until mary poppins appears from behind the bed and the mother becomes as enchanted as her daughter. in the end, the musical is about the generations of girls who have grown up on disney movies then turn into mothers who pass on the tales. it is about every girl, little or grown, who would give anything to be a part of the disney magic for just one night .

in compiling and arranging music and lyrics derived from sixteen existing works, jim abbott successfully created a cohesive score that still highlighted the original feeling from each film. “that’s how you know” from enchanted kept its quirky syncopated feel while songs from the jungle book remained jazzy. while lyrics were occasionally changed to accommodate this new plot, the familiar disney melodies did their part to stir up instant and strong emotions. great attention was given to ensuring that the little girl (played by bridgette biggers) could be anyone. i particularly enjoyed doug ellis ‘s design of her bed, including a princess bedding set and stuffed disney characters. while so much of this production was intended to be a fantasy, that bedroom seemed real. then, during the second act as belle (kari yancy) stepped out of her waltz with the beast (jason michael evans), offering the dance to little girl, the concept of when you wish seemed genuine .

having seen several of the highlighed shows produced on the tuacahn stage and other stages throughout the state, i found that the moments i enjoyed the most were from shows i have not previously seen. watching hercules brought to the live stage was a huge highlight of the evening for me. for this reason, when you wish offers something most shows can’t: a large sample of what disney has to offer in live theater. instead of taking a child to see newsies or aladdin in its entirely, theatergoers now have an opportunity to experience this broad spectrum of disney entertainment presented in the unique way that only tuacahn can deliver. if you have ever been little girl or if you know a little girl who would give anything to be a disney princess, this show is an absolute can’t miss .

the stage was beautifully set with these special effects, which only added to the immense talent on stage. a majority of the songs were large production numbers, which meant there were many opportunities for the choreography of jeffry denman and assistant daryl getman to shine. several numbers stood out throughout the night for their creativity and synchronous execution including the native dancing in pocahontas, the apes in the jungle book sequence, and the fan dancing in mulan. “zero to hero” from hercules brought the most vibrant energy of the evening, while the tap dance sequence in “step in time” from mary poppins was the most technically impressive. i also appreciated the careful balance of aerial choreography (cees de kok) and stage choreography throughout the tarzan numbers .

as the little girl, biggers was tasked with carrying this production. she was on stage during many of the transitions from story to story, solely responsible for tying the selections together. additionally, her role included many opportunities to sing duets with the disney characters. in nearly every case, she sang harmony while the disney character remained on the melody. despite singing against the beautiful and strong solo voices of these equity actors with impressive credits, biggers held each harmony confidently and blended styles as required by the song. moreover, she was required to participate in the dances, getting to perform as a newsie and as one of the recruits in “i’ll make a man out of you. ” biggers operated the same rolling mermaid mechanism as the other girls in the little mermaid, and she flew to the top of the theater at the end of the production. whatever task she was given, biggers commanded the stage, and she truly was the star of this production .

so where' s olesya rulin now? she' s been pretty successful. key example: rulin played abby on the hit show greek from 2009 to 2011. you remember abby, right? raises her hand basically every time she speaks. since then, she' s been on shows like drop dead diva, ncis, and eye candy. these days, rulin is on the playstation show powers, which is based on a marvel comic by the same name. in the series, rulin plays calista secor, a girl who' s hoping that her own superpowers reveal themselves .
with so much going on visually on the stage, it would have been easy for the vocals to get lost in the production. however, under the music direction of andrew graham, this production was a lot like listening to a great disney station on pandora with vocals flawlessly executed throughout. i was particularly impressed by the scatting abilities of caliaf st. aubyn (as king louie) and dwelvan david (as baloo) during the jungle book sequence. but drew aber was the vocal champion of the evening for me, singing both “go the distance” from hercules and “santa fe” from newsies. his soaring notes filled the theater with a beautiful power unequaled by any other performer. unfortunately, a few soloists also fell short of delivering their iconic solos in a way that matched the original movies. as shang from mulan, jace coranado possessed neither the physical prowess nor the vocal power to convincingly portray the leader of an army. as rapunzel, donna louden struggled to reach some of the lower notes in “when will my life begin. ”

by james sohre, opera today published: friday, august 8, 2014 utah festival opera and musical theatre has gifted opera enthusiasts with a thrilling barber, and i don’t mean... of seville. at a time when few companies risk devoting resources to lesser - known lyric theatre, this enterprising operation has gambled, and won, with a handsome new production of samuel barber' s vanessa that was characterized by first - rate musical and theatrical values. conductor barbara day turner wielded a commanding baton that made the (slightly reduced) orchestration pulse with character and vitality. the top - notch instrumentalists, assembled from near and far, played as one and the maestra elicited many happy revelations from the rich orchestral writing. she unleashed every bit of passion from the rhapsodic moments, and discovered a beautiful balance with the more straightforward (and sometimes witty) conversational exchanges. moreover, the conductor was a collegial partner with the singers who were coached to a fare - thee - well. barbara day turner may have just achieved the most accomplished and inspired operatic conducting i have experienced in recent memory. click here to read the complete article »
