Not that this was the most exciting article to write about, I do believe that it should be noticed that this is a small company, allowed to perform an amazing piece. Being one of everyones favorite musicals, it is nice to recognize the fact that the sponsers are infact engaged and excited about being able to produce this show with an off, not well known cast. I am excited to see how this turns out and I will try my best to be at the showing of this production! It always seems like such a task to take this specific show on but I am excited for the oppertunity to view this!

CLO has been given a great opportunity to produce such a great show. This is one of those productions that could be spectacular if it is done well or painful if it is produced poorly. The other shows on their season sound really interesting, though I feel that it is important to point out that I feel that groups should not only produce big name shows, but also smaller, more experimental shows to give them a chance to grow.

CLO...the competition for the best production of Into the Woods is ON!

What a great season ahead for the CLO. These are some of my favorite musicals and it is really exciting that they will be running here all summer. I am excited to potentially see these shows if I am in town. I do think it is poor planning on CLO's part to choose Into the Woods since we are performing that show.

I love Les Mis; I've seen it a few times and it's always thrilling. It's always a good choice. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is another show I would like to catch.
