Reviews: “The Front Page” paints cynical yet realistic picture of press Amy Danielson, The Pulse of the Twin Cities - 03/24/2004 "a weighty production...director Randall J. Funk does well managing the massive cast and keeps this farce cohesive with strong leading actors. Alex Cole is incredible as the mayor. He throws his weight around the tiny pressroom, literally and figuratively, making each scene he's in both hilarious and tensely dramatic. Matt Anderson plays a perfectly smarmy and fast talking Hildy Johnson. Every dubious grin, every stuttering slip of the tongue is timed perfectly as his Hildy is pushed and pulled from one absurd career and personal dilemma to the next..." [More] "Front Page" tells news of America's past Renee Valois, Special to the Pioneer Press - 03/22/2004 "...it's a fascinating, visceral slice of history...Pigs Eye's production of the old play is strong. Most of the 21 actors seem like they walked right out of the Jazz Age onto the small stage...Matt Anderson is particularly good as the hero, Hildy Johnson, a fast-talking, hard-drinking ace reporter who's fallen in love...Alex Cole is terrific as the corrupt mayor and Jay Urmann is great as his doofus sidekick Sheriff Hartman..."The Front Page" is worth bringing back."[More] | |
