Title: Wonderful
Product review: This was my first "Iolanthe," and I was totally captivated. Having been a professional dancer all of my life, the dance world really lost out on not having Arthur Sullivan compose ballet scores. "Iolanthe" screams to be danced, and in this production, much of the Fairies staging complies.The production, though a bit shaky at times, is a joy from beginning to end. The tongue in cheek campiness is just perfect. Wonderful sight gags abound, most memorable being the Fairies wings hangning out to dry before they are summoned by Strephon - hysterical.But!!!! It is the music and those AMAZING lyrics that just overwhelm you. It is truly a wonder that the human mouth can sing/speak at such lighting speed as required in the act one finale.It is simply wonderful.
