Terry Huber of CV Independent writes, “Theatrical magic is on display at the Pearl McManus Theater at the Palm Springs Woman’s Club: FALSETTOS, Dezart Performs’ final production of the season—and the company’s final offering at their longtime home before moving to their very own building in the fall—is not to be missed.
“FALSETTOS is completely sung, with glorious melodies and superb, clever lyrics. Under the musical direction of Stephen Hulsey, with a small ensemble of musicians located to the side of the stage, this production dazzles with its perfection. Dennis Courtney’s direction and choreography are smart and fluid, and work extremely well with Rick Bluhm’s simple and effective set design. Christopher Metzger’s costumes are on target for the timeframe (leisure suit and necktie widths included), while Chase Potter’s lighting adds the right amount of mood and focus to keep the story centered.
“With the creative team putting the production elements in place, it falls upon the cast to bring the story to life—and this was done with aplomb! Each actor has a strong singing voice filled with nuance and variety.
“I urge any lover of outstanding theater to get your ticket and see this production of FALSETTOS!”
