JANE EYRE-A Remarkable Remount
As an 18+ year Eyre-head, it was with hopeful energy that I sat down at Cleveland Musical Theatre's "revised premiere" of JANE EYRE. By its end, I was NOT disappointed. Director Miles Sternfeld has an eye for theatrics and a sense of the human condition. Between his storytelling and Martin Cespedes' choreography, Bronte's novel is adapted in a way that keeps action moving. Helmed by Broadway vets Andrea Goss/Matt Bogart, Jane/Rochester are portrayed in a painfully honest manner as we watch their first unexpected spark, their star-crossed connection, and ultimately their miraculous reunion. The ensemble carries this journey EXPERTLY, with stand-out performances going to Alison England in versatile-dual roles of Mrs. Fairfax/Reed (are those really the same women?), as well as Cody Gerszewski who's honest tenor-tones as St John are surprisingly countered by his early comedic portrayals as John Reed/Tedo Ingram. See this show while you can, as it will be gone before you know it.
