What Others Say
Honestly, such a fabulous production. The acting, delivery, and physical comedy were all fabulous – I had such a laugh! I thought the staging was very natural, and the cast moved with a level of comfort and authenticity (which I love)…and the cast is amazing – very well cast!
Naima, I was extremely impressed by your direction. There was no moment of hesitation, no expression too less or too much and not a minute of boredom in your audience throughout the play. Everything was so well planned and executed. I’m just honored to know you!
Strong performances by all. The 2 guys stood out but all very good. Took a few minutes to adjust to the American accents at the start of the show but certainly not a problem after 5 minutes. Great venue. Excellent front of house. VIP Snacks and ability to buy snacks were great addition to the evening.
The Odd Couple was a very professional piece. Honestly, the first half was a bit long and I felt some of the characters could have been built up at a faster pace but once it took off – wow! The set, costumes, props were spot on (that’s the producer in me noticing all that!) and I left loving a night at the theatre that I wasn’t involved in!! Congratulations to all at Imaginarium.
