I absolutely LOVED this production! From the first scene I knew it would be special because Jacob's 12 sons were costumed in contemporary dress--a sailor, a farmer, a mechanic, a Hawaiian dancer, etc.) as well as Biblical costumes. I was hooked. The small, live orchestra was fabulous, stage sets were simple but perfectly done, actors and dancers were absolutely the best quality, and I would nominate the production for the highest awards if I knew how to do it and it was a new work.
I didn't get to stay for the whole thing due to my partner's migraine, so we're going to pay AGAIN to see the rest of it. Never thought I'd pay twice to see anything once, but I will for this. Guess that tells you something about this work.
