'The Mikado' at Holy Cross High School - My Review
Senior Jenna Berkowitz from Naugatuck was a force of nature in her evil makeup in this fine production.
This weekend Holy Cross Student Theatre is presenting Gilbert and Sullivan’s ‘The Mikado’ as their spring musical in the school’s beautiful auditorium. Although it is probably the best known and most often performed of the duo’s works, it was a show I knew nothing about; I was grateful for the detailed synopsis in the program. The comic operetta was a challenging choice, but director Paul J. Whealon felt that not only were his students ready for it, but that the group possessed the necessary talent to present it properly. I would certainly agree.
