StageSceneLA calls Jane Austen’s Emma, the Musical “the best possible Christmas present any musical theater lover could wish for”!
“WOW!”
“Mandy Foster’s incandescent star turn as Emma Woodhouse in the captivating return engagement of Chance’s 2018 holiday treat”
“I raved about Casey Long’s masterful direction when reviewing Emma’s 2018 Chance Theater debut, and his inspired vision six years later ends up topping even that.”
“And though the vast majority of Emma’s 12-member cast are fresh and new this second time around, it’s hard to imagine the 2024 reprise working to such perfection without the return of the completely captivating Foster as its leading lady and the gruffly charming Lowe as the man it takes her nearly two acts to figure out is precisely her own match.”
“I absolutely adored Alexander’s wide-eyed and wonderful Harriet, Clopton (Mark in Chance Theater’s Rent) couldn’t be more delightful as local yokel “Mr. Robert Martin,” runway-ready Rhiner is a dazzlingly dashing Frank, Jimenez makes for the most exquisite of Jane Fairfaxes, Costa is terrific as the ambitious Mr. Elton, and Espinoza is a hilarious scene-stealer as the woman who henpecks Elton into submission.”
“a uniformly topnotch cast”
“Emma Woodhouse’s return to Anaheim Hills is the best possible Christmas present any musical theater lover could wish for.”
